Finding reason for "Attempted to kill init"

Quoted 6 lines · Stephen Torri

I can see from kernel/exit.c where the message "Attempted to kill init" comes from in the kernel. That is good. What would be helpful is to deteremine where in the code the function do_exit() is called. Is there a way to do that? I am trying to hunt down a boot failure for a kernel on a Gentoo LiveCD. I am in communication with the developers of the Gentoo Alpha list about this problem?

Your /sbin/init exits

So because this binary file exists the kernel will not boot?
