kernel panic error while installing kubuntu

[bahar]

Hi all,

I want to install Kubuntu 6.06 to my system but I took the error: " Kernel panic- not syncing: Attempted to kill init". How can I fix this error? Are there any body had this error before and fixed it?

I searched for this error in google and found that I should type "noapic nolapic" in kernel prompt but I don't know how. I use lilo and I think I may change some parameters in the lilo.conf file.

I am waiting for your help. Thanks..

Which CD have you used? Have you chosen the 64bit or the 32bit version?

Re: kernel panic error while installing kubuntu

Did you use the Desktop CD or the Alternative CD? If you used the Desktop CD did it work as a liveCD?

Did you check the Checksum of the Disk? Have you been able to use any other liveCDs on your machine?

You may be looking at a hardware conflict - where a piece or pieces of hardware are causing a problem.

I solved this problem in this way: When the install option is selected inthe installation menu I pressed F6 and added "acpi=off noapic nolapic" to the boot options. Then the live CD worked fine.

Thanks everyone..
