from: prabhakar@chaganti.net I just downloaded and created a cd from the i686 iso from gentoo.org. Tried to boot from it on my thinkpad 600 and get this error message: Warning:unable to open initial console. EXT2-fs error(device ramdisk(1,0)): ext_2_check_page: bad entry in directory #3857: unaligned directory entry -offset=0, inode=715229300, rec_len=51738, name_len=182 EXT2-fs error(device ramdisk(1,0)): ext_2_check_page: bad entry in directory #3845: directory entry across blocks - offset=0, inode=2112677348, rec_len=56860, name_len=249 kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! I have been using redhat and mandrake previously. Just in case it is a bad cdr, I downloaded the iso again and created another cd. Same error message. Can anyone help point me in the right direction. I would really like to install and use gentoo... thanks prabhakar chaganti
I seem to remember some fix for this in a more recent -ac kernel.
mmh, if you need more info I suggest getting in touch with the person on the list who reported it, except for that I think we are done here. closing bug time?
