RE: Kernel Panic: INIT not found

["Patwardhan, Aniruddha" <Aniruddha_Patwardhan@bmc.com>]

Hi,

Check whether you compiled the kernel with ext3 support enabled in form of
modules.
Also check you added correct "root" entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf while
adding entry 
for your newly compiled kernel.

If u compiled the kernel with ext3 support then u can also pass "root"
parameter to 
kernel on command line in GRUB and this should help

HTS,

Hi All,

I was tryi g to upgrade my laptop to 2.4.19. For this
I compiled and performed the following steps:

make oldconfig
make dep 
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
/sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.19 2.4.19 
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/bzImage-2.4.19
updated grub for new image and and initrd

everything went well, but while loading the kernel, I
got the following error:

'Kernel paninc: No init found, try passing init=
option to kernel'

before this I saw some messgaing showing problem with
journaling . Like:
.............
/lib/ext3.o unresolved symobol journal_load
..................
...................
ERROR: /bin/inismod exited abnormally!


IF I am right then it seems, it is not able load the
module for EXT3... 

What is the easist&quickest way to solve this problem
and make the kernel working ?

Thanks,
Nitin
