Kernel panic: No init found

["Brad Brad" <braddeicide@hotmail.com>]

Hi, the kernel is kernel.org 2.4.19 on redhat 8.0 on a K7.

Here's the interesting part...
# Character devices
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTY_COUNT=256

i've attached the whole config zipped, bit of a flood to post it all here :)

I'm not sure if this is totally irrilavant, but i just noticed that even as 
root i'm denied executing anything on my seperate /mnt/crypt, i've mounted 
it with

/dev/hdc1  /mnt/crypt ext2 
defaults,noauto,users,loop=/dev/loop1,encryption=AES256 0 0

I was aware you can pass a no-exe option, however pretty sure its not 
default.

Thanks for any help,
Brad.

           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This looks very suspicious.

Can you post your kernel .config for kernel you are trying to boot.
CONFIG_VT* are the most interesting parts. Mentioning kernel version may
help too.
