init not found

It might be me but I think my computer is trying to make my life misserable. I've had Arch working on my Pentium 3 witch runs with an 450mhz processor. But yesterday I recieved a new HDD cause my "old" one had some unrepaireble errors.

I reinstalled Arch again the way it's supposed to be done (and the last time it worked).. But this time I get the following errors Note: I didn;t get all of the error messages since they went away to fast):

Sontreset failed.
SRST failed
init not found

atkbd.c: Spurious ack on isa006/serio0 some program might me trying access hardware directly

What's going on here? The last error continues to turn up. I don;t get in linux. The same happens at ArchbLinux Falback

yours,

Bernhard

I think your problem may have to do with this:

You can do a search in the forums on "spurious" and find info, too like this

I think a quick fix is appending 'earlymodules=piix' to your kernel commandline.

Hi Bernie,

I have the same problem...I am searching a few days and cannot find the soluton.

This is confusing:
piix/ata_piix (Intel chipsets) - IMPORTANT
----------
If you have enabled ide/pata/sata HOOKs in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf the 'ata_piix' module will be used.
This may cause your devices to shift names, eg:
- IDE: devices from hd? to sd?

And now:

You can get the old hda names back by appending 'earlymodules=piix' to your kernel commandline

> this means we can use hdax back in grub and in fstab ?
> 'earlymodules=piix' is an option for piix users ? Or are we obliged to add it ?

@go4it: I've got the same questions as you do. So I'm afraid I can;t answer them for you.

@ everyone: Happy new year to all of you.
