Most likely the problem is the it's getting the wrong root directory. specify root= whatever it should be. It's not too likely the /sbin/init disappeared, unless something really bad happened. init=/bin/bash is another thing that can work, but no init= line will help until the kernel find the correct root filesystem. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
