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.
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
This initrd should be in the same location as the Linux kernel file.

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?
