Subject: initrd problem of 2.4.10

There is no problem using the initial RAM disk
(initrd) with kernel 2.4.9
But with kernel 2.4.10 system reports the following
messages:

RAMDISK: compressed image found at block 0
Freeing initrd memory: 1153k freed
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
Freeing unused kernel (memory: 224k freed)
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option
to kernel

When I compile the 2.4.10 The following option is
supported:
<*> RAM disk support(128000) Default RAM disk size

[*] Initial RAM disk (initrd) support

The version of lilo is 21.6. My lilo.conf is as this:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
linear
default=CapitelFW-2.4.9
image=/hda2/boot/linux-2.4.91
label=CapitelFW-2.4.9
initrd=/hda2/root/initrd.gz
append="root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc rw"
image=/hda2/boot/linux-2.4.10-ac
label=CapitelFW-ac12
initrd=/hda2/root/initrd.gz
append="root=/dev/ram0 init=linuxrc rw"

This is an unusually large size (128MB). Is your ramdisk
really that large? Try reducing this to a more sane value
(say 4096) and add the "ramdisk=" line to your /etc/lilo.conf
if your ramdisk goes above 4MB.

Check that /lib/ld-* in the initrd has execute permission.

What command line arguments do you pass to linux, and in what order?

I presume your initrd has /bin/sh? What happens if boot with init=/bin/sh?
