Description owens46 2001-02-17 04:51:06 UTC

When starting installation, booting from CDROM or Floppies when the inital boot is complete and the install program changes to a red screen
and starts to probe for hardware the kernel panics with the message:
"Panic: Going nowhere without my init".  It will then automaticly reboot
and repeat the same sequence.

Fix: 

Unknown - Booting from the CDROM or floppies results in the same message.
How-To-Repeat: Same as above

Removing a previously loaded Linux RH-7.0 installation from the disk fixed the problem.  I switched to ARC console used "arcinst.exe" (used to format drives in prep for NT installs)to reformat the drive.  Then switched back to SRM and booted the CDROM (boot dka200) and all is well....  

Drew, many thanks
