Attempted to kill init
Okay, I have two debian machines, Delirium and Sacrifice, networking
nicely, and running in a way that I find useful.
Sacrifice has just received a gift of a new CD-R, and so I need to compile
a new kernel to support it.
I've compiled the newest kernel, 2.4.9 (Actually, I tried this for 2.4.6
too, but didn't have the time to fight with it then. Same result then) in
the same way I've always done it for Delirium, using the Debian
Kernel-package tools (Which make life *much* easier than it ever was under
Mandrake, but I digress). And I've compiled and installed the package, and
it's booting from the new vmlinuz, which is in /boot/, the same as the old
2.2.17 was.
However.
Every time I boot into the new kernel, it gets as far as running the
autodetect on the IDE chain (Which it does sucessfully) and then says:
invalid operand 0000
(Whole string of hex and other associated stuff, see below)
Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init.
I'd quote you the entire message, but it doesn't seem to be logged anywhere
(The drives aren't mounted yet, I assume, so it isn't logging, but feel
free to prove me wrong).
Can anyone help solve this problem, or tell me how I can provide the list
with the information that would mean someone can?
