The original error I got was: Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. The command line option was: root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2 rw console=ttyMCS mem=64M at 0x0 I after digging around with google, I found a suggestion which I tried, I made my command line: root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2 rw console=ttyMCS mem=64M at 0x0 init=/sbin/init panic=4 But I now get the following error: Freeing init memory: 88K Failed to execute /sbin/init. Attempting defaults... Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. I can see that the Root drive is being mounted. The contents of the init file is: #!/bin/busybox ash /bin/busybox mount -t sysfs /dev/sys /sys /bin/busybox mount -t proc /proc /bin/busybox mount -t devpts /dev/pts # Populate /dev according to /sys /bin/busybox mdev -s /bin/busybox --install -s /linuxrc exec /sbin/init "$@"? /dev/console 2>&1 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this please?
