Question: Error when solving linear ODE

I have an equation eq := diff(y(x), x$3)+3*diff(y(x), x$2)+12*y(x);

dsolve(eq, y(x)); gave me a general solution.

I tried to get a particular solution using dsolve({eq, y(0) = a, y'(0)=0, y"(0) = 0}, y(x));

But I got Error, (in dsolve) not a system with respect to the unknowns [y(x)].

Thank you for any help.
