Re: HELP: Kernel panic

hi,
the message indicates that he dont find /sbin/init. are you sure that
the root device is mounted ? (not mounted root devices cause also panic).
e.g if the driver for the scsi is not compiled in and the load in the
initrd fails, the root cant mounted.

If anything fails i would try to boot from a disk perhaps even use
busybox in a ramdisk.

Hello,

I have a problem after I upgrade the kernel. While I try to boot from the 
new updated kernel, I got an error -- "Kernel panic. No init found, try 
init = option to kernel"

What should I do now? I can still use old kernel, but I really need to use 
new kernel.

Some background: I installed the Redhat 7.2 through RAID card using Dell 
GX400 CPU, then I removed the harddrive to an Multi-CPU box. After moving, 
I found it still using the kernel for single CPU, therefore I have to 
change to use smp-kernel. I download one rpm from redhat website. After 
install, I got the above error. I have used the command lilo -v -v, but 
didn't help.


Following is my lilo.conf:
