kernel panic with linux-2.4.19-rc2-ac1

Hallo

I have switched from linux-2.4.19-rc1-ac7 to linux-2.4.19-rc2-ac1 (both with preemptive patch). I use the same config but now thw kernel won't start and spits out the following. If someone could point out where the error is, I would be most grateful.

Please Cc me.

<0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Please run ksymoops on this and send its output.

Thanks,

Better try ac2 first, since ac1 has a know crash bug.

/Tobias

ac2 fixed it.

Thank you
