My 2 cents -- the "init=" parameter does not specify a shell (bash/tcsh etc) -- it specifies the location of the "init" program which is responsible for the startup process. It's usually placed in /sbin/init. However, I think that if "root=" is set to the right partition it should have found it if the file is indeed in /sbin/init. Check if your "root=" parameter is directed to the right partition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail message may contain confidential, commercial and privileged information or data that constitute proprietary information of Cellcom Israel Ltd.
