I have run into a problem.  My Redhat 7.3 will not boot.  I am getting
the error:

"Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel"

This seems to come up when it is trying to mount the root filesystem. 
Slightly above this error is a line saying:

"pivotroot:  pivot_root (/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2"

I have looked around on the net, and found a few suggestions, but still
can't get it working.  I have tomsrtbt (linux on a floopy) and have
looked at the disk (hda1).  /sbin/init is still there.  /etc/fstab is
fine.  I also looked at lilo.conf and it looks fine (I don't know lilo
that well, so I can't be sure).  I checked things at the graphical lilo
login.  I have three different kernels I can boot to, none work.  All of
the settings for root= that lilo uses seem good.  Any ideas?

This showed up a little while after I was trying to set up autofs for a
couple of NFS drives.  I have gone in and checked the autofs settings
with tomsrtbt.  I commented out all of the changes to the
/etc/autofs.XXX files.  I also checked the rcX.d directories, and autofs
should not be starting at boot (ie no SXXautofs links to rc.d/autofs in
any of the runlevels).  I am not sure if this is involved with this
problem, but figured that it might be.

Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Sean
