Hi! Tried my first Gentoo disc today (image gentoo-i686-1.2.iso). During boot I get a "Kernel panic" because not init is found. But from the boot messages I can assume that all necessary hardware is initialized properly. Board: ASUS CUB-X, onboard IDE only for primary enabled with the cd-rom connected as primary master, a hard disk is connected to the second onboard ide controller (UDMA100 controller) ---- ide0 at ... on irq 14 ide1 at ... on irq 12 hdc: [hardisc] hda: ATAPI 8x CD_ROM drive ---- all went fine until ---- VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly Freeing unused kernel memory: 232k freed Warning: unable to open initial console Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. ----
Verwilst, want to give this a shot? I know you've been working a lot with booting and iso's and stuff lately, so maybe you have a solution? :)
SOrry, i have the same prob with my newly made iso.. i'm stuck.. i'm not the person to do this, sorry :o(
after some reconfiguration of the BIOS it works now. Don't know whats wrong because I effectively changed nothing.
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this.
