[SOLVED] Kernel Panic
« on: June 11, 2012, 04:30:19 AM »
I installed the current version of TCL to my hard drive and on booting I get:

Quote
EXT4-fs (sdb9): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. try passing init= option to kernel
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.021-tinycore #3021
Call Trace:
[<c04124fb>] ? 0xc04124fb
and for more lines similar to this.

There is no problem on my flash drive installation.

I installed as well from that flash drive and get the same kernel panic as when installed from CD.

How to resolve?

Sounds like the initrd wasn't loaded. How did you install? Are the installed bootloader config files fine, is the initrd on the hd, uncorrupted?

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I installed following the installer instructions. I cannot see any initrd on the HD of the TCL partition nor on the flash drive installation.

If I boot  from the CD it says initrd=/boot/core.gz. Therefore, how do I pass this information to the kernel when booting into the HD installation if this is what I am missing?

You don't.
The bootloader, not the kernel loads the initrd.

Edit your bootloader config file.

hello ordep,

can i know the detailed steps that you took to solve this issue as I am super new to Linux system ? I am facing the same issue. What I am trying to do here is to is to boot-up my remastered iso image from a USB flash drive. I encountered this problem after choosing a window manager option.


many thanks in advance !

Chose a window manager option how or where exactly?
