Apologies for cross posting, but I'm kind of in a bind here.

I upgraded our webserver which was running 7.1 to 8.0 yesterday. The upgrade itself seemed to go fine, but then the machine wouldn't boot on it's own - it stuck in "Loading linux....". I did some searching and finally got a lilo.conf that seemed to load fine when I did /sbin/lilo. When I tried to reboot, it goes into kernel panic. Here's what I get:

Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: prot_root (/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
kernel panic: No init found Try passing init: option to kernel

I can still reboot just fine using the boot disk that was created when I did the upgrade. I'm heading back to google now to see what I can find. But if anyone has ideas, I would appreciate it.
