Re: Kernel panic. No init found

I don't think so. The grub line has root=/dev/hda1 (I checked that about ten times!).

Alternatively, you may have lost /lib/libc.so.6 or /lib/ld-linux.so.2
(/sbin/init uses shared libraries on my system, so I assume the same is
true of yours.) That would account for your being unable to run either
init or bash.

Now.  I think you may be onto something.

# ls -l /mnt/lib/libc.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 6 09:29 /mnt/lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2..5.so

# ls -l /mnt/lib/libc-2..5.so
no file found (grepping libc-2..5.so and libc-2.5.so produced no results)

# ls -l /mnt/lib/ld-linux.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 6 09:29 /mnt/lib/ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.2..so

# ls -l /mnt/lib/ld-2.2..so
no file found

I guess I should download these files and place them in the /lib directory. How large are they? I've had poor success downloading files via the windows software in the past-is it feasible to get them by email?

More thanks, Oliver!
