What might be missing either > in kernel configuration or platform_init()? Help! Are you sure that the kernel is recoginzing your command line parameters? It should echo them out in an earlier boot message. My guess is that you have a mistake somewhere in passing the command line parameters to the kernel, leaving the kernel unable to find it's root fs. YMMV... :-) John P.S. Another possibility is that your initrd image isn't getting uncompressed correctly or to the correct location... -- John W.
