Other Help Topics :: Many lines of errors, last one "kernel panic"

i downloaded the iso, burned it. when i run it i get the boot menu, and hit enter, then it goes to another screen. it says its loading things, and goes through 3 sections, with many times saying "cloop: error -3 uncompressing block" then the block number. at the end of this long list it says "Kernel Panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel"

what does this mean?
