Re: Help ! Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:01 - Part II

[sama@inf.ufsc.br]

Hi,

      I used linux root=/dev/hda2 on lilo prompt. The system returned me:

            VFS: Mounted root /ext2 filesystem readonly
             Warning: unable to open an initial console
             Kernel Panic: No init found. Try passing init= open to kernel.

      I used linux init=/bin/sh on lilo prompt but, the system returned me
the same error. Any suggestion ?

            Thanks,

         Roberto Samarone Araujo
