Installed gentoox on my 1.4 box yesterday and all was fine. (used SSH to do magic and solve the display issue).

Turned on today and have lots of errors on boot, mostly saying file/directory not found. The final message says:

kernel panic - atempted to kill init!

it then just hangs.......

I am new to all of this but I have a feeling that this is bad news. Anybody know what can be done?

did you use the power button to turn it off?

I'm no guru, but I'll make a suggestion When you shutdown, did you use the "halt" or "shutdown -h now" command? If you just hit the power button, you could've corrupted your filesystem. The Sparkle tool in the downloads section can be burned to a disc and used to check the filesystem. Hope it helps.

Seems in the 2 minutes it took me to write this, someone else replied. Go figure.

Thanks for the replies, I made a clean install overnight and now everything is fine.

So in other words you hit the power button but you wont admit it

quite possibly ;-(

Heheh ^.^

so the power went out today and mine is doing the same thing.

is there anywhere i can download the cd image of sparkle as i cant get in to the system to add it there.
