Where is your new "initrd-2.4.21.img" image ?
I did a

I did this while I was booted in the 2.6 kernel. This was outside the kernel compiliation direction and have tried it couple of reboots after the kernel compilation.Did you build this while compiling the kernel ? I mean using the same System.map file.
It seems that you created a new image at /boot/ location ? try without
initrd image.
How? Should I disable initrd in the .config?
Mostly various distributions have different method for
You can also refer to this thread(its a thread I posted with my alias) for the error message I am having.creating initrd image.

as my painful experience with FC3, it MUST bootup with an initrd.
this panic message looks familiar with me, since you have an initrd made, can you show me your grub config ? (or lilo )

Hi All,
I am running FC3 with a 2.6.10 kernel without any problems.
I am trying to install a 2.4.21 kernel for an application I am working on. Initially I had problems compiling the 2.4 and after a lot of effort, I changed the gcc to the right version (2.96.3) and was able to compile the 2.4.21 kernel. I also had a problem with 'make install_modules' that version reqired old depmod and I had to create a symlink "ln -s /sbin/depmod /sbin/depmod.old". And finally it compiled and installed.
But when I try to boot this new 2.4.21, I get a kernel panic message saying:-
And now I am getting this message:
/***************************************************************/ kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted files system with ordered data mode. pivotroot: pivot_root(/Sysroot,/Sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 freeing unused kernel memory: 276k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. /***************************************************************/
Any pointers, folks?
I also I ran a
/sbin/mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd/2.4.21.img 2.4.21
without any use.
Thanks, K
