Hi there,
I searched the forums and found
THIS THREAD with reference to my problem.
I added the development repos and performed a yum update with success (upgrading from FC6 Zod to FC7 rawhide. although technically it's FC6.91 but i'm not sure if this is of relevance ).
So i can boot up using the original kernel and all software is updated and things run nicely however when i try to boot the fc7 kernel i get :
Code:
Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try Passing init= option to kernel.
The kernel in question is 2.6.20-1.299.fc7
I'm not entirely sure what this problem is but if anyone has any idea or knows what information they might need to try and determine the problem i am more than happy to find and post it.
I tried adding init=/sbin/init to the boot command but that just causes:
Code:
Failed to execute /init
Failed to execute /sbin/init.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try Passing init= option to kernel.
I am fairly new to linux but have had a fair bit of experience.
My grub.conf seems correct in the sense that it is the same as the working kernel but it references the vmlinuz and .img for the new fc7 kernel.
Getting the new kernel working isn't of great importance (i.e i don't need it for any new hardware or anything and my system works fine with the original) but it would be nice to get it working if possible.
Also, if this turns out to be a bug hopefully it will be of some use trying to determine the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.
