Here I go again...

Let me explain all the situation.

I use slackware 8.1 - kernel 2.4.18. (server and workstation)

I changed some paths because of disk space. I installed ltsp another
directory. DHCPD, exportfs, and others know this new location. AND I
also created a sim-link in /opt/tlsp pointing to that new location.

I built my own kernel for the workstation. I have built more than 20
different configurations. I have started with .config from a tlsp
package.

Using mknbi, I passed root path parameter for the kernel.
(rootdir=/dev/ram0). Then I got a "Unable to mount root fs on 01:00"
error message.
I also tried to pass rootdir=/opt/ltsp/i386. Then, it mounted root fs
and I got a "unable to open an initial console" warning. I know it's not
the right way.

But i found on the /mnt directory on the server a ./initrd directory.
Its contents seemed to be the root fs to be mounted on the client's ram.
there is also a /mnt/initrd/linuxrc file. Then i tried to make this
directory to be the root fs. rootdir=/mnt/initrc. It does not work.
PROPERLY!

If I do not append an init command, i get a busybox error. 
But if I append a init=/linuxrc command, the script is run, /proc is
mounted. But when it tries to install sis900 driver it stops. => 

ERROR! Failed to install the NIC driver module ..........
......
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

I know it's not the right way, but it almost worked. :-)


The question is:
What can i do to stop this kind of error? 
May i comment lines that loads the modules, once i have all built in the
kernel?

thanks in advance.
