Just installed CentOS 6.3 from a minimal install disc. All was well, so I ran a yum update, as well as installed some additional packages (mysql, httpd, libjpeg, libpng, and more that I don't remember off the top of my head). Went to reboot the machine and now it won't book up. As it starts to boot, says:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.32-279.5.1.el6.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814fd24a>] ? panic+0xa0/0x168 [<ffffffff81070bd2>] ? do_exit+0x862/0x870 [<ffffffff8117cba5>] ? fput+0x25/0x30 [<ffffffff81070c38>] ? do_group_exit+0x58/0xd0 [<ffffffff81070cc7>] ? sys_exit_group+0x17/0x20 [<ffffffff8100b0f2>] ? system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
That's probably a bug.
Please fill a bug report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com
Also, tried selecting the previous kernel at boot, but got the same message, except with 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 referenced.
Which previous kernel? 2.6.32-279.2.1 or 2.6.32-279.1.1?
