Re: Kernel panic: No init found.

["Mike Hill" <mhill@bustech.com>]

I believe I have seen the same problem.  As I recall, we first started
seeing this problem when we removed a symlink (/opt/hardhat/devkit to /)
that was included in the MontaVista target directory.  We were told that we
had it add it back because some of the MontaVista libraries were built
incorrectly.  You may want to check to see if you have that symlink in your
target directory.
