To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I am trying to boot my board with 2.4.18 kernel. I am getting the Kernel panic: No init found error when tried with all kernels above 2.4.8. But, in pc environment,they are working fine. Why is this so? The distribution is Redhat 7.2. The 2.4.8 kernel, is bringing the board up with the same rootfs. The root file system is mounted. The rootfs has /sbin/init and /bin/sh. Init may not be corrupted, since it is working with 2.4.8 and other lower versions. I tried including /initrd directory in the rootfs, but that couldn't solve the problem. Am I missing any libraries needed for kernels above 2.4.8 in my rootfs? Where can I get those details? As of now, all files in my rootfs /lib donot have executable permission and are without symbolic links. Are these a must for kernels above 2.4.8? ext3 is deselected in Kernel configuration. Does ext3 file system has anything to do here? This kernel panic problem persists even when the .config of 2.4.8 is used for configuring the kernel...Does the problem lie in the kernel configuration or rootfs? Please enlighten me Regards Shobana __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Games - play chess, backgammon, pool and more http://games.yahoo.com/
