Windows2000 went in first , bog standard install, a OK there.
The Linux Mandrake 8.1 next , I formatted the /boot. /root,and /swap
partitons, 2.3gb of OS installed , nothing untoward reported. No X windows
test failures,USB printer tested OK, modem detected etc etc.
Then comes the moment of truth, the final reboot,
Grub displays full menu, including W2k which boots OK.
Then attempt to boot LM8.1 ......nothing , a black screen
job ......cannot even ctrl+Alt + del to reboot, so , it's a reset
job and into linux failsafe, certain amount of script , ending
in " BAD EIP Value (EIP:0068:[<00008382>] )
kernel panic: Attempt to kill init "
Boot disk does the same.
I tried repair , via F1 in no1 install disk, besides saying
something about a sound driver needed , all is fairly
ordinary looking. No special warnings etc.
Can anyone kindly explain what is happening here, in
particular what does "bad EIP value mean" .
