[newbie] kernel panic on PPC 7600/120
Hi All, I'm trying to install Mandrake 9.1 for Apple PPC on a PPC 7600 604 12 mhz 48mb 2gb the installation keeps ending with a kernel panic: mesh: double mda start I'm doing a text install from CD The installer doesn't recognize the CD by itself, I need to choose a driver which is called mesh. Non of the other drivers seem to work. what options should I try? Groet, Peter Teunissen Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Kernel Panic:??
Hello from the land of windows. :~((
I'm running Mandrake 8.2. Last Wednesday we had a momentary power failure.
When I rebooted my computer following the power failure it hung on the Linux
boot. I have spent the last two days trying to solve the problem on my own
with no luck, unfortunately. Here is what I get on boot. It starts with
identifying my HD and CD ROM and then starts on the file systems. It gets to
mounting root file system
mount error 6
mounting ext 3 flags
Freeing unused kernel memory: 256k freed
Kernel Panic:
No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel.
There it stops and hangs. I've tried to use my boot disk but it tells me
that it can no longer be used and gives me several F key options, all of
which result in boot failed.
I've tried the series of Alt +SysRq+, it appears to have done what it is
supposed to but it simply gets me back to the same Kernel Panic message.
How can I boot back into Mandrake?? I HATE having to resort to Windows to
resolve my Linux problems but I can find no other choice. :~((
TIA

I am afraid that the partition table on your disk is fried, or the partitions have taken a terrible beating. The system cannot locate the proper partition to load the initial files from. I hope you have a decent backup of your /home data, because this sounds like format and reinstall to me. But perhaps someone else has a better, less drastic solution.

Re: [newbie] Kernel Panic:??
You may attempt that to mount the partitions you want to backup, but with things sounding like they do now, editting or replacing config files will do little to no good. Something basic on the disk appears to be damaged, and that is not fixable by a config file.

If you boot from the Install Cd#1 and at the first screen hit the button 'For more options' then type 'rescue' at the prompt. It will boot in a minimal linux and give you a menu. One option is to mount the partitions. You could then try repairing them. Another alternative is to get hold of a knoppix CD and boot from that. You will then have a full linux environment in which to repair any damage on your HD. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

After the kernel is started it attempts to mount a file system on the root device hard-coded into the kernel image itself . If the kernel cannot mount a filesystem on this device, it gives up issuing a kernel panic message. In otherwords the kernel is confused . Looks like your kernel cannot find an init script to read. But that message can be used as a sort of general purpose warning message. init is a general purpose programme found in /etc which starts certain processes, at boot time it is controlled by /etc/inittab run levels id:5:initdefault: si::sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit I don't know if you have tried booting on failsafe, there are a lot of semi-automatic programmes that can sometimes fix things for you. I think your file system must be fried to such an extent that it cannot find an init script to run. I don't know though.

[newbie] Kernel panic : No init found
At boot-up I get the following message :- Kenel panic : No init found Try passing init = option to kernel after which nothing happens except that the caps lock and scroll lock keep flashing. I arrived at this situation after attempting to change users when the machine seemed to have become locked in wait mode. Any suggestions as to how to get the machine to boot will be gratefully received - or should I just wait to upgrade to 9.1 - which, I assume, will fix the problem.

Thanks, Daniel When you're doing the installation, are you letting MDK do automatic partitioning for you? Or have you tried that? I seem to remember someone stating that there was a system for a partitioning scheme that was successful...can't quite remember it now...but it did work... I've not been following this thread until now so forgive me if I'm off here. Now I cannot offer an explanation for your problem, but one possible workaround might be to merely create that /swap partition but leave it unformatted and complete the install. When you reboot and get to desktop you can always format the swap partition and make it active from there. I think you will have to have a reasonable amount of physical memory to do this , I don't know what the minimum is, but maybe 128Mb is about right for M9.0 Just a thought. -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Kernel Panic on boot from Install CD on Athlon
do you have shared video memory with an onboard video card? if so you will need to hit f1 instead of enter when first prompted to hit enter to install or upgrade. you will then need to tell the installer how much memory it can use without effecting the video memory, like this (without the quotes) linux mem=xxxM where xxx is changed to equal the amount of ram availabel to the system after subtracting for video ram. so if I had 128 meg ram, but had shared 16 megs with the video, I would type linux mem=112M On Monday 23 September 2002 01:20 pm, you wrote: Hi, I am trying to install Mandrake8.2 on my new Athlon(XP1800+) box from the installation CDs (downloaded from one of the mirrors).

See if that won't get the install started. hope this is of help.

Re: [newbie] kernel panic - why?
Sounds like you have disk problems again. Try booting from the install CD, press F1 and type RESCUE. It will allow you to mount your files systems under /mnt. First question then is: can you mount them? If so, try fsck. That should at least give you more data to come back to the list.

[newbie] Kernel panic
My newly installed LM8.0 now halts during bootup with the message Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05. I must have done something to cause this, but beats me what. Booting with the floppy produces the same results. Booting into Windows 95 (this is a dual boot machine) now shows about 2 seconds of garbage on the screen between the boot bitmap and the appearance of the GUI -- not that this bothers me; I mention it as a possible symptom.

One involved the kernel using swap even when there was plenty of free RAM available. This bug has apparently been fixed in subsequent kernel releases. Another was a poor supermount implementation.

[newbie] Kernel panic: No init found
A month ago I have successfully installed LM 7.2 on my Pentium Celeron 366 MHz having 20 GB disc. I have two Win partitions: C (hda1 - 6 GB) and D (hda5 - 8.5 GB), and three Linux partitions: / (hda6 - 4.5 GB), /boot (hda7 - 16 MB) and swap (hda8 - 125 MB). LILO was chosen for boot and installed in MBR. The system was functional up to two days ago when I obtained the following message during boot procedure: Warning: unable to open an initial console Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel. After that I must reboot the system. I can boot the system using the boot floppy, and it functions properly. Reinstalling LILO didn't help to restore. Any help, please. Thanks, Pop

[newbie] kernel Panic
Hello, my customer ID number is : LM71DH1-30868587 I have the following problem. I will appreciate it if you can help. I recently installed LM 7.1 on my PC which already had Win98. I was using Grub as the bootloader setup to load Linux as default. Since the Linux install I have re-installed Win98 on my PC. Now I cannot use Linux. The initial grub screen where it asks me to select which OS to boot (or load Linux in the next 4 secs) does not appear. Immediately on turning on the PC, Win98 starts to load. So I used the Linux startup disk created during install and restart the PC. Even that does not start Linux- I get a number of msgs leading to a "Kernel Panic" mesg. The msgs are shown below: Partition Check hda: hda1 hda2 hda5 hda6 hda7 attempt to access beyond end of device 03:03 rw=0, want=2, limit=0 dev03:03 blocksize=1024 blockno=1 sector=2 size=1024 count=1 EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock 03:03 rw=0, want=33, limit=0 dev03:03 blocksize=1024 blockno=32 sector=64 size=1024 count=1 isofs_read_super: bread_failed, dev=03:03, iso_blocknum=16, block=32 Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03 Nothing happens after this.

Re: [newbie] Kernel panic
Luis , do you need to recover your Windows? If so you will need to boot from a dos floppy and fdisk /mbr to get started reinstalling Windows. Then use FIPS or Partition Magic (whatever you prefer really) to create Linux partition. Then you can try using a Linux rescue floppy. If that fails , you will probably have to reinstall. Others may give you a better idea if you wait for all replies.

Re: [newbie] kernel panic
FYI, Presently I use Win95B, Win95C, and Win98 at work, at home I have Win95B. To learn how to use Linux, I install Linux-Mandrake 7.1 and RedHat 6.0 each on separate 10 Gb harddisks in a removable tray (will be doing same for SuSe 6.3 on 4 Gb soon) - so that - Win and Linux do not 'see' each other at all, if I mess-up one the other is not affected.

If so, boot with a good kernel and check that you have the correct root device set on this 2.2.9 kernel which is giving problems. To check the root device, do 'rdev kernel image' where kernel image is the kernel image file, usually zImage or bzImage, created in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot when you recompiled the 2.2.9 kernel. OK, good luck, Hidong
