Hey everybody,

I want let you guys know that I'm almost completely oblivious to linux.
I recently installed linux (slackware 10) with the help of a friend. After everything has been installed, I get an error message stating " kernel panic : no init found, try passing init= option to kernel"

I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what this could possibly mean....Can somebody please help me get past this STEP by STEP, seeing how completely ignorant I am with linux.

thanks,

This generally has to do with invalid mount points in your bootloader i think..

A quick google search MOD EDIT - USE THE URL TAGS SO LINKS DON'T MAKE THE PAGE SCROLL HORIZONTALLY

turned up the following:

so you can try and boot into safe mode, edit your lilo or if you are using grub you can do it on the fly i think. make sure your mount point is set properly.

hope this helps!
