Linux installation problems

(1/3) > >>

hnugz:
At first I tried installing Madrake's Linux and I got an error much like the one if not the exact same as I am getting right now when trying to install Red Hat. When it boots from the CD, I press enter, it runs through some stuff and then says <0> Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init! Anyone know what this means or how I can fix it?

Heru:
Could you give us some hardware details?
How much ram do you have?  Processor speed, and class?  Any odd hardware in there?

I don't know if any of that info will actually help, but you never know.

hnugz:
Well I built the computer myself so I'm not really sure of the motherboard.  I have a 1.0 gig amd thunderbird i think it is, rivatnt2, 2 20 gig HD, 256 sdram.

Master of Reality:
what do the couple lines before the kernel panic say?

voidmain:
Have you tried creating an installation floppy and starting the install from floppy?  I recall that a certain version of Mandrake has a hard time installing from certain types of CD-ROM drives but I've never heard of that on RedHat. Just might be something to try....
