Hello,
I am attempting to move all of the root files and folders into a single directory /linux on the root file system. I then use the kernel parameter init=/linux/sbin/init to get things rolling but the kernel panics.
When I boot linux, everything seems to work ok until the kernel tries to execute init. The root device is mounted as the root file system successfully and I see a message stating so. But then I get a kernel panic which says it couldn't find init and to try using the init= kernel parameter.
I'm guessing there is something missing from the root directory that the kernel needs but isn't there. I tried moving the /dev directory back to the root directory on the root file system but this didn't help things.
Anyone have any clues?
Thanks.
P.S. The reason I'm doing this is because I'm creating a bootable CD but have other things on the CD in addition to linux.
