Hi,

I installed VMware 4.5 (free 1-year eval with current German C'T magazine)
on Windows XP, and installed Mandriva 2006 RC2 on that. So far OK, but it
won't boot: the boot halts at:

"Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel".

Googling this line in combination with 'vmware' doesn't reveal very much.
I don't how to pass 'init=' to the kernel, what I should pass exactly, and
whether it could be useful.

To be complete: A few lines *before* that:

Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem /dev/root
mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags defaults
well, retrying without the option flags
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
well, retrying read-only without any flag
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2

Then some umount messages, and then the Kernel panic

Is there a ext3 problem? Old VMware with a too new Mandriva?


Any ideas or tips?
