Hello
I have a problem with isolinux my root filesystem is a iso9660
cdrom , it wont start the init but it mounts /dev/hdc as root. Cant linux start directly from a the cdrom or is this another problem?
I get this:
VFS: Mounted root filesystem (iso9660) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory: 2808kb freead
Warning: unable to open an intital console
Kernel panic: no init found. try parsing init=option to kernel.
I use this setup in my isolinux.cfg:
default linux 

label linux
kernel /isolinux/bzImage
append root=/dev/hdc
