Hi, All:
I am pretty new with linux. Actually, this is my first time to install
the Mandrake linux 8.1 (2 CD disks) to a desktop. The installation was
very smooth. But after the installation and reboot, nothing happened and
the screen was black! After re-login with the failsafe mode, the
following error message showed up on the screen:
.
.
EIP: 0068 [8332]
.
.
Code: Bad EIP value
0 Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
My computer has a 3D mainboard (PV40A series), a Pentium 4
CPU (1.6G), a NVIDIA TNT2 32M graphic accelerator card, a 512M
memory and a 40G hard disk. A Window 98 operating system occupied
first 5G hard disk in hda1, followed in the extended partition are the
517M swap partition (logical), 2.5G \ partition (logical) and 6G \home
partition (logical). There is about 12G un-used hard disk space, then
6G window_D partition (logical) and 6G window_E partition (logical).
I was able to start the linux using the Rescue mode from the CD,
and found the whole system in the computer. But some boot_log were
empty. After re-install the system several times and consulted some
of my friends, the problem remained the same. I was completely out of
my wits now. Mandrake linux has very friendly interfaces. I don't want
to give it up so easily. Any suggestion on how to solve this problem is
greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.
Best wishes,
Albert
