kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

[Srinivas G.]

Dear All,

 

I downloaded the Fedora Core 3 (kernel 2.6.9-1.667) ISO CDs from the
following link. 

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/

I burn the CDs. I installed the Fedora Core 3 in an Intel Machine. It
was working fine. 

 

Now I want to build the 2.6.6 kernel image. Then I downloaded the kernel
tar file from the following link.
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.6.tar.gz

 

After that I did the following steps.

 

1.    I copied the downloaded tar file to the /usr/src directory.

2.    I un tar the downloaded tar file.

3.    I changed the owner to ROOT by 

      #chown -R root:root /usr/src/linux-2.6.6

 

After this I compiled the kernel by the following steps.

 

4.    #make menuconfig  -     to creating the config file

5.    #make clean

6.    #make bzImage

 

Now I changed the EXTRAVERSION in Makefile

 

7.    #make modules

8.    #make modules_install

9.    #make install     -     this will copy the bzImage file to /boot 

                              directory and also updates the menu.list 

                              i.e. grub.conf file and copies System.map
file etc.

 

Every thing goes fine. After rebooting the system through this new
kernel image I got the following error messages and system halted.

 

Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting 

Enforcing mode requested but no policy loaded. Halting now. 

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

 

I succeeded in building the new kernel image, but un succeeded in
booting from the new image. 

I tried 2 to 3 times. I got the same error.

  

What am I doing wrong here? Please advice me with right one.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Srinivas G
