Kernel panic: No init found.
I just compiled a new 2.2.14 kernel after doing a new potato install and got
the message:
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
Does anyone know what is causing this? The 2.2.14-compact kernel
installed from the boot-floppies as part of the installation boots
without any problems. /etc/inittab, /etc/rcS.d, etc., all look normal.
This is a somewhat minimal system (486DX2/66, 16MB) and I assume I
messed something up in my kernel config after comparing it with one
which works on my other computer I can't figure out what. I've
attached .config in case someone can discover the problem.
I also tried installing kernel-image-2.2.14-2 from potato, but it
reboots in the middle of loading.
