Hi,
I recently tried to recompile the kernel on my Fedora
Core 2, but when I boot using the new one I get the
following message:
"kernel panic: no init found. Try..."
I used the source from the FC2, and executed the
following commands:
# ln -s linux-2.... linux
# cp /boot/config... /usr/src/linux/.config
# make oldconfig
# make
# make modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
# vi /etc/grub.conf
Here I let my grub.conf as the following:
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/
rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Fedora Core Modified
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bzImage ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
If you copied the kernel image into boot without renaming it then
"kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358" should be "kernel /bzImage". Perhaps you
should rename bzImage to something more informative. Also, where is your
root partition located? For example if your root is located on /dev/hdc3
then ro root=/dev/hdc3
