Hi,
You didn't say how you booted (floppy, cdrom, network), and this is important for anyone to be able to give specific instructions to you.
sorry. I boot with PXE.
If you are booting over PXE network boot, then this sounds like a problem in your defaults file. Make sure you have included the append line which references the new init
e.g.:
default 1 label 1 kernel vmlinuz-2.4.20-12.i586 append load_ramdisk=1 ramdisk_size=16384 initrd=initrd root=/dev/ram0
That's the same like in my config.
This initrd should be in the same location as the Linux kernel file.
I know and they are both in the same folder.
Was my way of creating the files the correct way? I am confused about compiling an own kernel with initrd. With the web-creator it's just an easy way, but when i am missing modules wich i need, it's really hard to get it running. :-(
I just think that my initrd is broken, becaus i created it wrong.

Dear all,
with the standard initrd i build with the webcreator, it was not possible to get this scsi-controller running. In the Dell Power Edge 1855s blades i've got this controller:
Perc4/IM | LSI Logic MPT SCSI
I tried to build my own initrd and kernel. I compiled the kernel with the initial .config of udpcast. I added the modules i thaught wich would be correct.

Now i copied the bzImage to /tftpboot/udpcast/linux and created the initrd like this:
[root@knecht ~]# makeImage -k /usr/src/linux-2.6.14.3/arch/i386/boot/bzImage --initrd /tftpboot/udpcast/initrd --fullbox
In the next step i booted the blade, after the kernel was stared i got a kernel panic with this message:
Warning: unable to open an initial console. Kernel panic - not synching: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
I searched with google for a soloution but found nothing helpfull. What am i doing wrong? Could you help me please?
