Norbert et al. : This patch allowed the 2.6.14 kernel to compile and build for me on my first alpha. However, when it tried to boot, it got midway into the process and first a warning message that there is "no initial console", then right after that, a "kernel panic - no syncing: No init found". How do I correct this issue ? -- James D. Freels, Ph.D. Oak Ridge National Laboratory freelsjd@ornl.gov
