Hi,

  Im trying to start mulinux after unpacking and following the directions. I execute boot.bat and the system is fine up until the hard drive section before mounting the file system. Immediately at the point where it mounts the filesystem, it reports: Cannot open initial console.

Here are the facts:
1.) I'm using the current stable version of mulinux
2.) I'm booting from the hard drive in dos mode
3.) I have a loadlin line pointing to root=/dev/hda1 (which is correct)
4.) mu linux is in the C:\mulinux directory

--Other--
1.) I tried using /dev/mem instead of /dev/hda1, but I get a kernel panic when I do that.

If there is anymore information you need, or if you have any ideas, please let me know..

Thank you.

Matthew Miller
