a-linux: Kernel panic: No init found

a-linux: Kernel panic: No init found

[Darius Stout]

Hello,

I really like what you are doing and I am trying my best to use a-linux
but I am having some problems.  I have downloaded the "a-linux" and
the "asmutils".  I have been able to boot just fine from the 
"a-linux.img" file but when I try to build my own I get an error at
boot stating "Kernel panic: No init found".  This is the way that
I build the boot image.....

a-linux:  Downloaded at /home/download1/alinux
asmutils: Downloaded at /home/download1/alinux

cd /home/download1/alinux/a-linux-0.17
./bootdisk.bash a-linux.img /home/download1/alinux/asmutils-0.17 /mnt >
new_boot.img

Then I ftp the image to a windows machine and move it to a floppy disk
with "rawwrite"

Then I get a failure "Kernel panic: No init found"

I am trying to build a very small web server and I really need 
your help.


Thanks!
Darius

I guess that you are doing something very wrong here.
First, you need kernel binary.
Then, you need to compile asmutils.
In the end, to generate bootdisk, something like:

./bootdisk.bash bzImage /home/download/alinux/asmutils-0.17/src /mnt >boot.img
