[parisc-linux] installation problems on c200

[klaue]

hi,

i have a c200 and want to install from a palinux-2.4.18-pa26-netinst image.
after some problems booting from the internal cdrom, i have connected an
external box with a traxdata writer. from this device the boot is working
until the message "freeing unused kernel memory". after this i got some
ext2-fs errors concerning the ramdisk. the last message is a kernal panic
"no init found. try passing init= option to kernel".

is there anybody out who can help me to realize where the problem might be?
the same is if i use a 2.4.18-pa35 image.
i have already searched the list archive but i wasn't able to find a
solution.

ok, i'm a newbie but i have the dream of using linux on my little hp box!

regards,

kim

Never met this problem with a cd but it sounds like the burned cd is wrong.
Do you check md5sum of your downloaded image
(http://pateam.esiee.fr/cd-images/testing/)?
Then of your burned cd?
