Guys, Updating an x86_64 box, I ran into an error I've never seen before with the 3.4.3-1 kernel. It hard-locks at the very start of boot with the keyboard lights flashing. Basically the first line of the boot says: Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done. Booting the kernel. [ 0.480811] Initramfs unpacking failed: uncompression error [ -.547776] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance. I literally took a picture of the screen just in case it is of any help: [155k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/ss/arch/kernel343-fail2boot.jpg Where to start? Boot from an install disk, chroot, and try kernel reinstall? What say the experts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
