[coLinux-users] Warning: unable to open an initial console.

[Alister H. <ali...@sy...>]

Hi, I'm trying to set up Puppy Linux with Colinux, and the boot is
failing like this:

 

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).

Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed

Warning: unable to open an initial console.

Failed to execute /sbin/init.  Attempting defaults...

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

 

I've googled quite extensively and been unable to find a solution.
Various people suggested running this, which looked promising:

 

mknod -m 600 dev/console c 5 1

mknod -m 666 dev/null c 1 3

mknod -m 666 dev/zero c 1 5

 

I have those nodes, but it doesn't seem to help me.  Can anyone point me
in the right direction?

 

 

Thanks,

Alister
