Stuck in newbie hellForum: HD Install Topic: Stuck in newbie hell started by: guardsmen Posted by guardsmen on Dec. 15 2006,22:34
I've read pages of msgs, pages of how to's, but none seems toapply to my problem. I'm trying to install to an old laptop (P-150, 16m ram, 1.5 gig HD) with a cd-rom drive that can be swapped with a floppy drive, ( can't have both at once). I can boot from the live CD, but no matter what variable I put in (lowram etc) it hangs at "Bad EIP value- Kernel panic: attempted to kill init!" More info, the drive has been wiped clean, fdisk into 3 parts, but I did this with a dos based utill. so they are FAT32, FAT32, FAT16. I have the Toms disk, but haven't been able to figure out how to use cfdisk. BTW, my ultimate goal is to use this thing for a digital picture frame. Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Dec. 15 2006,22:54
Check these forums... I believe there are a couple threads about that that could help you out.

A search for "Bad EIP value" on < http://www.google.com/linux > brings up some useful info in the first few results.
