I installed MDK 10.0 Official on my main desktop box (AMD Athlon 2500+, 1GB, etc) and it has been running without issue, almost.
In the process of installing the security updates, etc, I installed the new kernel (urpmi kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3.13mdk[-1-1mdk.rpm]). The system is/was currently running kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.3-7mdk. As MDK 10 still uses lilo as the default bootloader, I checked it, and ran lilo -v (no errors). After rebooting, I received several errors [1], and the kernel panic'd. I've scoured the lilo.conf [2] file looking for errors without success, and googled for an answer. There are instances of the init= error, but most of them relate to 1) a custom/hand built kernel on a system where 2) /sbin/init was not installed, or was in another location. My system has /sbin/init (though it would seem it's not found because the device is not mounted properly. Last error: Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. For reference, a listing of /boot is available also [3] showing the the initrd is available. This system currently has nothing on either SATA, and has a single 80GB drive on IDE0, and a CD-RW on IDE1. I am at a complete loss as to what the issue might be. The system boots fine with the label="linux=i686-up-4GB" setting, and in fact the kernel upgrade left that as default=. The only change I've made to the lilo.conf was to change the default to "linux". Any assistance and/or ideas are appreciated.
