Hi All,

I thought i would give Mandrake a try on my Alpha. No success so far. My 
configuration is:

AlphaPC 164SX (533) [AlphaBIOS]
128 Mb memory
4 x IDE HD
Adaptec AHA-2940
1 x SCSI CD-ROM
1 x SCSI Tapestreamer
Matrox Millenium video card

The story so far:

I created the first cd from the iso from ftp.free.fr, No problem there. 
Created the root floppy from cdrom.img on the cd. I am able to boot the 
system based on the instructions in readme.milo. It goes wrong directly 
after the root floppy has been loaded into the ramdisk. The message i then 
get is:

Warning: unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

Anyone any clue what the problem might be.

Richard.

p.s. The above configuration works perfectly under both Redhat and SuSe.
