Re: Re: Boot disk problem results in kernel panic in 7.2

[dballester kernpharma com]

IMMO a kernel panic is generated from a kernel load that goes bad. Then the
kernel is find and may be the problem is related to an absence of init.
When a kernel as been loaded it must give the boot control to an init
process who will start up modules, mounts, etc...
dd if=/kernel_image of=device is not the same than create a bootable disket
( at least kernel & init process binary )

The person creating the disk used:

  dd if=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 of=/dev/fd0

How did you make the boot disk? During install or with mkbootdisk? Did you
upgrade the kernel after making the disk? I'm asking because it sounds
like the boot disk can't find the kernel
