Hi,

I get the following error while trying to bootup a new 7.2 installation.

  INIT: version 2.78 booting

I found messages about this on the web but no suggestions for a fix.
I re-installed a second time but the same thing happened after a 
coupla days of use. On the second installation, I opted for lilo instead
of grub/aurora. Using a boot floppy, I ran /sbin/lilo but it didn't
help.

Anyone have any ideas about this,


Bill
