For Mandriva Linux 2005/2006 users, they might meet a bootup problem
after the Mandriva Linux installation is finished. In this document, it
will provide the solution for the bootup problem.

a. After the installation of Mandriva Linux 2005/2006, users cannot boot
   into the Mandriva Linux, and the system stops with a "kernel panic" 
   message as below:

      kernel panic: no init found. try passing init= option to kernel

b. Put the Mandriva Linux installation CD 1 to the CD-ROM, then reboot
   the system and set the BIOS to boot from CDROM.

c. Enter the "Rescue Mode" and boot into the console.
  
d. Mount the partition which the Mandriva Linux is installed.

      # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
      # chroot /mnt

e. Install the kernel source package and decompress the Patch package.
   The kernel source can be found in installation CD 3 of Mandriva 
   Linux 2005 and 2006.

   For Mandriva Linux 2005

      # rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6-2.6.11-6mdk.i586.rpm 

   For Mandriva Linux 2006

      # rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6-2.6.12-12mdk.i586.rpm 

      # tar zxf Linux-ATA133-Patch-V4.3.tgz
   
f. Patch and rebuild the default kernel.

      # cd /usr/src/linux
      # patch -p1 < <Patch_DIR>/<OS>/<OS>_<Kernel Version>.patch
      # cp /boot/config-<Kernel Version> .config
      
   Then refer to the "Rebuild the Linux kernel" section in the 
   "README" file.

   Note:
      Please set "acpi=off" into the boot loader configuration file to
      avoid the kernel panic issue.

g. After those above steps are finished, reboot the system and boot into 
   the new kernel. Users should boot into the system successfully.
