Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

[srinivas pulipati]

hi all,

i am trying to boot the mpc860 board with ramdisk support.
i downloaded pre built ramdisk.image.gz from
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/LinuxPPC/usr/src/simple-ramdisk.image.gz

i put a printk in fs/opennamei () function
i end up with the following output.

is it crashing because of library missing or something else?

thanks in advance - srinivas

Yes ;-)

Well, I think I should be a bit more helpful: something else is missing.

If you check the contents of tha ramdisk image (simply uncompress  it
and mount it using the loopback device) you will see that there is no
"init" included.

Try passing a "init=/bin/sh" argument on the kernel commandline.

Hi Linuxppc-embedded , 

Iam trying to run powerpc linux on xilinx ML310 FPGA board, everything is fine..am using montavista preview kit and recently I have added gigabyte ethernet driver(XGemac) to the kernel and when I try to run new image on target I get following error. My experience is not sufficient enough to predict why such error is happened. 

XGemac: Device instance 0 found

what does " Oops: machine check, sig: 7 " mean .does any one worked with xilinx gigabyte ethernet. thanks a lot......
