bad computer day II
Hi everyone,
I walked into school this morning and found that all of my Windows
computers were complaining about losing their DHCP leases. Probably not a
big deal, I thought. I walked back to the server room and found that I
couldn't get a console on my server. It wouldn't get past asking for my
username. After determining that the machine was pretty well locked up, I
had to reboot.
Upon rebooting, I was presented with the following:
--snip--
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
--snip--
Booting from my trusty boot floppy produced the same message.
I couldn't find any mention of an 'init=' option in the lilo docs. Can
anybody help here?
-Tim
