ok, i am running a sony viao laptop with 40 gig HDD split into 4 partitions,
1, 20gig ntfs for my xp install,
2, 4.5 gig ext3 for my knoppix 3.6 install
3, 15 gig fat32 with all my files
4, 500mb linux-swap partition.
using the Live-CD all my HDD install all goes through fine. once i have rebooted and try to load from HDD i get
unmount: devfs: not mounted
pivot_root: No such file or directort
/sbin/init/: 426: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
i have tried a few ways to get round this and make it boot, but yet to no success. please help.
also what i am trying to ulitmetly do is dual boot (not to bothered how between) my xp and knoppix install but i cant use cds or floppy discs to boot as i dont want to be taking my docking station arround with me anywhere. the knoppix install was made onto /dev/hda3 and the swap was /dev/hda4 and xp install on /dev/hda1
any ideas/solutions would be helpfull,
