Make sure you have a ramdisk in that file (or change RAMDISK=). Next time you 'make palo' in your linux tree, palo inserts the ramdisk inside lifimage and constructs a default kernel command line to use the ramdisk. I tried both the old ramdisk, and I turned willy's nfsroot into a ramdisk, and both booted and loaded but died with that 'Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!' message. Looks like sash is being started with some args it doesn't like and exiting with a usage message. -P
