Hello from the land of windows. :~((
I'm running Mandrake 8.2. Last Wednesday we had a momentary power failure.
When I rebooted my computer following the power failure it hung on the Linux
boot. I have spent the last two days trying to solve the problem on my own
with no luck, unfortunately. Here is what I get on boot. It starts with
identifying my HD and CD ROM and then starts on the file systems. It gets to
mounting root file system
mount error 6
mounting ext 3 flags
Freeing unused kernel memory: 256k freed
Kernel Panic:
No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel.
There it stops and hangs. I've tried to use my boot disk but it tells me
that it can no longer be used and gives me several F key options, all of
which result in "boot failed".
I've tried the series of Alt +SysRq+, it appears to have done what it is
supposed to but it simply gets me back to the same Kernel Panic message.
How can I boot back into Mandrake?? I HATE having to resort to Windows to
resolve my Linux problems but I can find no other choice. :~((
TIA
