I having the same kernel panic that someone posted in January 2002, but I didn't see any follow-up posted. When I try to install RH 7.2 (2.4.7-10) from CDROM, immediately after selecting setup mode (lowres, rescue, expert...) I get the error: "<0>kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!" I get a similar error when I try to install Mandrake 8.2. Oddly enough, Mandrake 8.1 installed without a hitch as did Redhat 6.0.
