ZaZu Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Been banging away at MDK 10.0 trying to get it to use my ADSL modem (it can see it and has the driver ) I must have told MDK that I don't want a graphical login cause now it presents me with : Mandrake Linux release 10.0 (official) for i586 Kernel 2.6.3-7mdk on a i686 / ttyl localhost login: I can login but I don't know enough about command line usage to get to KDE or GNOME could someone tell me what I should type in to fix this? When I use my boot floppy it stops at Kernel panic: no init found try passing init= option to kernel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 After login, try typing init 5 and see if your GUI comes up.. This is your runlevel. Linux starts up in stages (defined as runlevels). If you are set to init 1 or init 3, then your gui won't come up.. \etc\inittab (I think that's where it is) in the first line has a reference to it. If it's not set to 5, then it will start linux at a different runlevel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
