Hi, Slackware 10.
I am trying to change my hard drive. I duly copied all partitions and files to the new drive with 'tar -C "$1" -cOl . | tar -C "$2" -xpf - '. Now when I boot I get: .... Freeing unused kernel memory: 120 K freed. Warning unable to open an initial console. Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. When I boot using the rescue disk after .... Freeing unused kernel memory: 120 K freed. it continues with INIT: version 2.84 booting ... to fully boot and I can use the installation flawlessly. init is at /sbin/init. Where is the hang-up ?
