Hi,

Slackware 10.

I am trying to change my hard drive. I duly copied all partitions and
files to the new drive with 'tar -C "$1" -cOl . | tar -C "$2" -xpf - '. Now
when I boot I get:

....
Freeing unused kernel memory: 120 K freed.
Warning unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

When I boot using the rescue disk after

....
Freeing unused kernel memory: 120 K freed.

it continues with
INIT: version 2.84 booting ...

to fully boot and I can use the installation flawlessly.

init is at /sbin/init.

Where is the hang-up ?

Thanks & regards
