(wich does not support boot on cd) So I made a bootdisk(bare.i) wich works perfectly. The problem is when I need to enter where to boot (cd or Enter to boot on a rootdisk). So I tried to boot first on cd and i got this message : Code Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Then, I tried to boot on floppy with a rootdisk(initrd.img) and i got this : Code RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0. *It seems to read on the floppy but does nothing else. What should I do to make it works ? :\

Okay, I made a rootdisk and I got throught the five disks steps. Then I got those errors messages :

Code

EXT2-fs error(device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #411: unaligned directory entry - offset=0, inode=1819172716, rec_len=24943, name_len=100

EXT2-fs error(device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #340: unaligned directory entry - offset=1024, inode=2304, rec_len=190, name_len=0

"Mrs. Jones, I'm sorry to inform you, but we've run the tests, and it appears that you have XP. Now don't cry - it's bad, but it's not a death sentence. Modern science has advanced in recent years, and it's now possible to live a reasonably happy life with XP. And there's a survivor's group that you'll want to meet as well."
