kernel with ramdisk

Hi,

I am trying to load a kernel using a ramdisk.The kernel runs the 
/sbin/init program and then hangs.What I mean to say is that the
kernel does a execve of /sbin/init and thats it.It never returns.
The "init" program in my case is a bash shell.
I have the right libraries and inittab file too.The init program has 
the execute permission.The dev directory has the console device in it.
The ramdisk is 8192K in size.

What could be going wrong?

Thanks,
Manoj
