Kernel panic : Not Syncing with version 2.6.10

[linuxgeek79]

Hi linuxforum mbrs,
Well I am facing a problem. I compiled the Kernel Version 2.6.10. All the parameters are correct but I face this problem.

Kernel Panic : Not syncing. No init found. Try passing init = option to kernel.

I tried init parameter to the kernel, but in vain.

I also tried mkinitrd with -f and -v options but that also in vain.

I am unable to boot into the newly complied kernel.


Plzzzzz help.


Thanks in advance.

I had this same problem when setting up my mom's computer with Fedora 2. The problem is, that Fedora Core has some stupid system which integrates it's labels into all the linux partition's filesystems. And it alsa by default adds the root=LABEL=/ option to the boot sequence, you need to take this out, and, optionally, replace it with root=/dev/hdxx, replacing xx with the correct root partition. Hope this helps you.
