failed hdd-install (no init found)
Hello group,
I've been trying:
knx-install (2003-06-06-EN)
knoppix-installer (2003-07-24-EN)
both apparently run to completion, but when I reboot,
after the kernel loads, its crashes with the following message:
kernel panic: no init found (try passing init=option to kernel)
Same thing if I try to boot from the floppy prepared by knx-install
Has anyone seen this before?

I'm getting the same, but my boot disk works.
Using
knx-install (2003-06-06-EN)
I have my suspicions that the version of Lilo is well and truly screwed: old versions of /etc/lilo.conf which used to work fine now throw up really wierd errors. Looks like a case of "it works, let's fix it".
I've tried the init=/etc/init fix someone posted and /sbin/lilo returns a syntax error.
I can't see this as a disk issue as it works fine as a CD and the rest of the install seems OK.
Ideas anyone? (Apart from installing grub!)

Answering my own post, for it may help someone in the future ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
The partition to which I initially tried to install was in
the upper 10Gb of a 80Gb HD. It seems this was the cause of
the problem. When I managed to free disk space lower (towards
15 GB), the installation "just worked"! I don't know if lilo
is to blame but apparently the knoppix installer (Fabian's
in my case) is not repsonsible. Go figure...
