hello friends!!

I have mandrake 9.1 linux with 2.4.21 kernel.I wish to upgrade to
2.6.11.12 kernel.

For that i executed following commands:

untarred linux source and put it unders /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.12

#cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.12
#make mrproper
this does not print anything on the screen and after sometime gave me
back the shell.
#make menuconfig
#make
#make modules_install
after everything was complete i copied bzImage to /boot.

To create initrd image i did following.
#cd /lib/modules
#mkinitrd 2.6.11.12.img 2.6.11.12/
i copied the resulting initrd image to /boot
and made appropriate entries in the lilo.conf

The entries are
image=/boot/linux-2.6.11.12 #name of my kernel image
label="2.6.11.12"
root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/2.6.11.12.img


But when i try to boot using the new 2.6.11.12 kernel i get following message:
mount:error 19 mounting ext3 flags
kernel panic:no init found.Try passing init= option to the kernel.

I can't boot using the new kernel.What can go wrong?Did i miss something?

Thanks in advance,
Pavan Shah.
