kernal panic

[keith]

Hi everyone,

I got an easy question for you. I'm trying to update my Linux kernel and I want to use the same configuration as my current working kernel. I need this because during compilation of the kernel, I get the following messages:

Warning: Unable to open on initial console.
Kernel Panic: No init found Try passing init = option to kernel.

Note, I have lilo configured with a new initrd .img for the new kernel. I know that it has to do with the menuconfig stuff because I added ext3 fs support (apparently was disabled by default) and when I recompiled and restarted, it got a little farther than it previously did, though it still panicked later. Thanks for the help!

Try to change the append="root=LABEL=/" to the actual filsystem device for example append="root=/dev/hda2" in /etc/lilo.conf. And Rexecute lilo. It seems that the kernel cant find your root-filsystem....
