Re: [Etherboot-users] /sbin/init hangs on boot (SOLVED)

[Tiago A. da F. <ti...@kn...>]

Hi!
Actually I had commited a mistake when installing a Linux distro to be
used with thinclients: I try an old installation (Slack 10.1 for an old
486) instead of my FC3 installed on newer PCs and it worked nicely.
Thanks for your help!
Regards,
Tiago Alves
