Hi group, |

Did linux#make menuconfig followed by linux# make && make |
| 4 |
modules_install on the .2.6.30-gentoo-r7 sources. And copied over the |
| 5 |
new kernel and rebooted. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The kernel panicked. The relevant messages are: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
<...> |
| 10 |
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly on device 8:1, |
| 11 |
Freeing unused kernel memory: 276k freed |
| 12 |
Warning: unable to open an initial console |
| 13 |
Kernel panic - not syncing. No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel. |

So far I've tried adding 'init=/bin/bash' and 'init=/sbin/init' to the |
| 25 |
command line. No help. Someone in a forum suggested chrooting and |
| 26 |
emerging sysvinit. But that's already installed. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
There's a million hits on google for this error message with about as |
| 29 |
many solutions. |

Assuming it has something to do with my kernel config, I tried running |
| 32 |
$diff -y on the two configs but at approx. 2600 lines per file I'm |
| 33 |
going to need some advice on what to zero in on. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I tried to keep the new config as same as the old. But there's a lot |
| 36 |
of new features, weird stuff like CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS=y and the new |
| 37 |
decompression protocol. |
