kernel panic: no init found with 2.5.32
I have a slackware 8.1 machine that works fine with 2.4.18/19 kernels, but,when I reboot with the 2.5.31/32 kernels, the system have a "kernel
panic: no init found. try passing init= option to kernel" The fs is a reisersfs v.3.6 on Intel PIIX4 chipset with udma33 disk.
The disk is not corrupted because if I back to 2.4.X the machine boot fine.
what's wrong?
What are you passing as the init= arg? What is your boot manager? (Grub? Lilo? 3rd Party?)
no init means that when the kernel boot sequence tries to spawn off /sbin/init, it cannot find the file.The fault could be any one of multiple. It would help in the future if for problems like this you pasted your boot loader config file.

What are you passing as the init= arg? What is your boot manager? (Grub? Lilo? 3rd Party?)
the boot manager is Lilo 22.2
my lilo.conf is:
-----------------
boot= /dev/hda
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda2
label = Linux
read-only
-----------------

I don't know why with 2.4.xx works fine and with 2.5.xx make a kernel panic...

The driver for /dev/hda2 (IDE driver) may not have been compiled in or not otherwise installed. This would make the root file-system inaccessible so /sbin/init can't be found.
Check for other boot messages to verify this.

The driver is compiled in :-) and the kernel detect the disk. The disk appear to being correctly mounted ro, but the system hang...
