Re: Panic on new kernel

[Mathias Brodala]

Hello Bradley.

 So the problem I have is that any more recent stock kernel (I have tried
 2.6.16-smp and 2.6.17) panics on boot:
 
 Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

How does the config file of your bootmanager look like?

Hm, doesn’t seem wrong to me. Have you tried to add something like
„init=/bin/bash“ to one of the kernels and booting it thereafter?
