no init found:try passing init=option to kernel

hi all,
  i am working with kernel 2.4.20-8 . when i try to install with the kernel 2.6.15.5, while booting it gave following oops message :

EXT3-fs: mounting filesystem with ordered data mode
VFS:Mounted root(ext3 filesystem)readonly
freeing unused kernel memory:216k freed
kjournald starting:commit interval 5 seconds
warning:unable to open an initial consoale
kernel panic: not syncing,no init found.try passing init=option to kernel
  the steps i am following to compile the kernel is :
make oldconfig
make
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15.5
make modules_install
make install

my grub.conf file is:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
