Randy,
Thanks for the patch, but it does not work for 2.4.26. The kernel panic I get
("Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.") is
generated by the init() function in init/main.c. Willy's patch applies to
init/main.c, perhaps yours should now as well (i.e., in later kernels)? (I have
not tested Willy's patch, but he claims success with a 2.4.23 kernel.)
This is a completely different error from "VFS: Cannot open root device" or
"unable to mount root".
Are you sure you have a "/sbin" directory with an *executable* "init" file on
the usb harddrive?
Does your init file depend on libraries that you do not have under "/lib"? (you
can check with "ldd init")
If your init is a script, does it specify a complete path to the interpreter,
and do you have an *executable* interpreter there? Does the interpreter require
libraries or is it static?
I hope this helps,
