kernel panic (exec of init(/sbin/init) failed!!!:5 on FC3

[Ankush Grover]

hey friends,

Today I installed FC3 on a new machine Pentium IV 3.0Ghz,Intel 915
Motherboard,512 MB RAM(400 Mhz),SATA HDD 80 GB.After installation the system
worked perfectly for few hours.I had Marvel Gigabit Ethernet Controller and
I installed the drivers for it.I rebooted the machine to check whether the
Lan card works fine after reboot .While rebooting it keeps on giving some
errors like "Read Only Filesystem" and /usr is busy etc....

After reboot the system is giving the error:

(exec of init(/sbin/init) failed!!!:5
umount /initrd/dev failed:2
kernel Panic -not syncing:Attempted to kill init!

I tried to boot the system into init level 1 and 3.But I keep on getting the
same error.

I am using all the default settings and the default kernel on FC3.

The procedure for installing the drivers for Marvel Gigabit Ethernet
Controller is follows:

a) ln -s /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/build /usr/src/linux
b) Install the drivers for Marvel Lan Card(install.sh).

I don't why machine is giving me such error and how to solve this problem.

Thanks & Regards
