Mandrake 8.2 Linux Boot Problems
Problems booting Linux 2.4.18 on I-Opener

Hello,

I have successfully installed and run Win98SE on my I-Opener. Now I am trying to get Linux to run. I installed Mandrake 8.2 using the 10GB Fuji drive hooked to another PC. When I switch the hard drive to the I-Opener, I get the following message upon booting past the Mandrake boot screen (windows worked perfectly):

"Error 6 mounting ext2 flags Freeing unused kernel memory: 260k freed
Kernel panic: No Init found. Try passing init= option to kernel."

I have put "hdb=noprobe" in both the lilo.conf and /boot/grub/menu.lst files but still hdb is getting probed. I believe Mandrake uses the graphical lilo boot loader but I would still think it has to use lilo.conf for its settings. Has anyone gotten Mandrake to boot correctly and how did you do it?

Thank-you in advance!

Did you re-run lilo after adding the hdb=noprobe to the conf file?

No. After running the command lilo, the linux started. Thanks for that part of the help but the XF86Config file is for the computer I installed linux on and not the Iopener. Could someone send me this file? It would be very helpful.
