I built a new version of the kernel under RH6.2, currently running
2.2.14-5.0smp. The new version is 2.2.17. Compilation and building of the
required modules succeeded. lilo.conf has also been updated to reflect the new
kernel name. System.map, initrd.x.img, vmlinuz and vmlinux have all been placed
in /boot. The one file that has not been able to recreate is /boot/module-info,
since I cannot seem to find instructions on this and there are no procedures in
the Makefile.
Following the recommended steps in the README file, plus several other books on
the matter, this kernel halts cold during reboot. "initrd.x.img" is loaded and
the hardware is scanned normally up to the point where it's ready to mount
the root partition.
The error message says:
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel.
I'd appreciate hearing any suggestions on the matter. Thank you.
