Brand new fresh installation. Laptop boots, GRUB loads fine, one option:
"SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz)"
Choose this. Laptop displays:
Booting 'SliTaz GNU/Linux (cooking) (Kernel vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz)'
root hd(0,0)
Filesystem time is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30.6-slitaz root=/dev/hda1
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x21a850]
And hangs.
Sounds very similar to this problem: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/machine-hangs-on-boot-kernel-or-initrd-not-loaded-747650/ but I can't find a suitable initrd.img installed, and there are no BIOS options I can change that make any effect.
Quick fix, please?
