Kernel panic

["Aman" <aman@mistralsoftware.com>]

Hi All

I am trying to build linux image with ramdisk and download to the PPC 440GP
evalkit. Earlier the filesystem was using nfs mount, now I hv builded a
zImage.initrd with ramdisk.image [I havent compressed the ramdisk image]. To
build the ramdisk, I used the procedure defined by HHL.. I defined the
ramdisk size as 8MB. However when I booted  with the image built. I am
getting a kernel panic error. I have pasted the output below.  One question
, how should we decide about the files to be loaded in ramdisk which will
be needed by  kernel image.

Thanking you in advance.
Regards
Aman
