Kernel panic - init not found. Please help !!
Hello All,
I am using loadlin to load up a kernel from from
Windows 95 partition. Since my BIOS is old and my hard
disk is new, I am using the EZ Drive disk manager for
my 10 GB hard drive.
I have a Pentium 200 CPU with MMX and 32 MB memory.
I compiled a custom 2.0.36 before and it worked
without a problem.
I then wiped the linux partition, installed the base
slink system again and used apt-get dist-upgrade to
upgrade
to a potato system. The kernel did not get upgraded
even though it was a stock 2.0.36 kernel.
Anyway, I downloaded the 2.2.14 kernel source deb
package and used a config similar to the one I had
used
for my 2.0.36 kernel.
The 2.2.14 kernel starts ok but right after :
Freeing unused kernel memory : 36k freed
it says:
Kernel panic. init not found. Pass init= option to the
kernel.
I tried using rdev on my custom 2.0.36 kernel (which
works)
rdev linux.20
Root device /dev/hda5
rdev linux.22
Root device /dev/hda5
and /dev/hda5 is where / is located so that does not
seem
to be the problem.
What am I doing wrong or is this a kernel bug ?
Here is the config file for 2.2.14
