Hi, I am trying to load a kernel with ramdisk support linked in it. It is a 2.4.5 kernel, ported for Ocelot board running a PMC RM7000 chip. The kernel hangs while trying to load the "init" process. The "init" is actually the sash program. I have placed the init in /sbin, /sbin and /etc.The "execve" in setup.c returns ENOEXEC while running /sbin/init. The CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF is set in the .config file. The init has the x attribute. Here's the output: >g root=/dev/ram ........... ........... Initial ramdisk at: 0x80285000 (1161262 bytes) ...........

Try passing init= option to kernel. Any ideas? Manoj
