Re: [newbie] Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
do you have a mem=184 as part of the append statement in your lilo.conf (assuming you are booting w/lilo)?

Re: [newbie] Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
Ben, try the following (I'm Assuming your trying to load Mandrake 8.2) when the splash screen comes up hit F1 then at the boot prompt type in linux mem=xxxM without the quotes and replace xxx with the amount of ram memory not shared with video. See if that won't get the install started. hope this is of help.

[newbie] Kernel panic: attempted to kill init!
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.

Re: [newbie] Kernel panic: attempted to kill init!
Try this:- At the lilo splash screen ,hit Esc tab, and at the boot screen, type linux(or whatever it is listed as) nobiospnp enter When on desktop go to /etc/lilo.conf and edit the append=line by additng nobiospnp within the already established qyotes.

[newbie] Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init
This lloks like an upgrade gone horribly wrong... I am upgrading a system to an AMD 1700+/ MSI K7266A Pro2 board, 256MB PC2100 RAM, duel booting Linux 8.1/Windows ME. I'm using the remaining equipment from my old system. The windows ME side works fine. I have freshly installed Mandrake 8.1 three separate times at this point. When I try to load linux, linux-nonfb, or failsafe I get the following errors. PNP: PNP Bios version 1.0, entry at . general protection fault: 0 . a bunch of stuff. Bad EIP value Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init ... and then a dead halt. Hlp! Joe Sotham try to install Joe Sotham - Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init - Fixed
adding the parameter nobiospnp to the append line in lilo.conf fixed the problem as Franz pointed out. Thanks, Franz!
