kernel init error

[Brian Densmore]

Well, it sounds like the HD is working, since the kernel appears
to be loading. But, it appears that you lilo or grub configuration 
is wrong. 
*Or* your kernel doesn't have ext3 support built in or in the initrd.
I seem to recall there being an issue with 9.2 running the 2.6 kernel
doing justwhat you say. I think the fix is to remake the initrd, or
recompile the kernel with ext3 support built in. You should be
able to use the emergency boot floppy you made during install
(you did make a boot floppy right?) to get the system up. From there
you should be able to mount the /boot partition and rebuild the kernel
with ext3 supprot built in.

HTH,
Brian

After doing nothing more than opening the case to air out the dust, my machine is now unable to 
boot. There is a mount error 22 mounting ext3, followed by a retry and kernel panic:No init found. 
I am running Mandrake 9.2 with /boot on hda1. Any ideas? I have the sinking feeling that my HD is 
dead.

 

TIA
