This means /sbin/init can not set up your system properly. Quite how to fix it is hard to tell beforehand (other than that you need a /etc/inittab... I hope you didn't make /etc a separate filesystem!), but you can boot up into a sort-of-single-user rescue capable mode by adding "init=/bin/sh" to your kernel's command line (LILO prompt, GRUB kernel line, syslinux kernel prompt, loadlin command line etc). This will cause the kernel to run /bin/sh, your default shell, on the console. You'll probably want to remount / readwrite, fix the problem, remount / readonly again, and type "xxec /sbin/init". (remounting is done using "mount -o remount,rw /") _______________________________________________ Linux-IrDA mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pasta.cs.UiT.No/mailman/listinfo/linux-irda
