Problem starting up from USB stick

[rmcellig]

When I start up my laptop with Puppy 5.2.8 on my 16GB USB stick, I get the following error when selecting either one of my .3fs save files:

Kernel Panic - not synching: Attempted to kill init!

What does this mean and how do I fix it?

fix your bootloader configuration file ie menu.lst / syslinux.cfg

Maybe a file system check of your usb stick will fix it

Code: Select all

fsck /dev/sdxn

running from another system.
Find out what xn is.
