I have done recompile using kernel-source-2.4.18 and
after reboot I got the following error
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory: 288k freed
kernel panic no init found , try passing init= option
to kernel
How to solve this problem? Please help me
