Re: [ilugd] kernel panic
if you are trying to boot the machine without any ram and getting that error, please correct me if i am wrong, it could be because 2.4 kernels try to load initrd onto a ram-drive first. what does the exact error message say when you try to boot the system with ram? one thing you can do is get a live disc (or use the first disc of whichever distro you are using), get a shell from that (they all provide different ways of getting there. some need to be passed rescue on the boot loader prompt of the cd etc) and try mounting your fs there. see if everything seems to be intact. you can try chrooting into the root (/) fs on the hdd and exploring. if you use lilo, try running lilo from the chroot-ed environment. did you swap hard-drives recently? did the computer reboot by itself/power failure? could it be that you use ext2 filesystem? sharad birmiwal On 11/2/05, Manish Popli [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I m using 2.4.21-4.Elsmp kernel.it http://kernel.it http://kernel.it went down suddenly and when i reboot, it was not able to found the boot record.. after that i plughed out a slot of 512mb ram from it and tryed to boot it..M/c got start but i was facing the error... *Kernel* *panic*: *no* *init* *found*.

Re: [ilugd] Kernel Panic
can't bootup even by using Bootable Floppies. #tell me whats the problem?what should i do? Some times it ask for root password run fsck witout -a -p switch. #HOW should i run fsck to recover ext3 file system? Sounds like garbage collection didn't get called by a particular application. Run, the following to determine which partitions are active: 'mount -l' You will see a list such as: /dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw) [/] /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw) [/home] ... etc. Now, you will need to run the following: $ fsck.ext3 /dev/hda5 $ fsck.ext3 /dev/hda3 HTH.

The root partition (/) will usually be mounted in read-only (ro) mode during such recovery operations though.
