Good Morning andMerry Christmas,

My computer won't boot to Linux. I have Suse 7.2 andam using lilo to =
boot to either Linux or windows. I am using a graphical selection =
screen. If I select Linux here is what finally happens.

Freeing unused memory: 112K freed
Warnng: unable to open n inital console
Kernel Panic: No init found. Try passing init option to Kernel.

Then the boot process stops, the keyboard freezes and I have to reset.

Any ideas? In the past I might just have reinstalled Linux, but now my =
installation does everything  need so I don't want to reinstall.

Regards,


Charlie=20
