When I use loadlin linux root=/dev/hda2 initrd=root.bin (linux being my kernel image, hda2 my unformatted linux partition) I get a kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:02. By using loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin the filesystem mounts fine, but I then get the " kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errno = 2 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errno = 2 Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. " I tried passing loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin init=1 loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin init=2 loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin single loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin init=/bin/sh but still get the "no init found." I have no clue as to what to try next. (I believe that the init= is the runlevel (?))
