After a lot of searching with Google I have found this is a common
problem, unfortunately none of the solutions I have found, fix the
problem.<br> <br>
The original error I got was:<br> <i><br>
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.</i><br> <br>
The command <a id="KonaLink4" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline !important;position:static;font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;" href="http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#"><font style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;" color="blue"><span class="kLink" style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;">line </span><span class="kLink" style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;">option</span></font></a> was:<br> <i>root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2 rw console=ttyMCS mem=64M@0x0</i><br> <br>
I after digging around with google, I found a suggestion which I tried, I made my <a id="KonaLink5" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline !important;position:static;font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;" href="http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#"><font style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;" color="blue"><span class="kLink" style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;">command </span><span class="kLink" style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;">line</span></font></a>:<br> <i>root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2 rw console=ttyMCS mem=64M@0x0 init=/sbin/init panic=4</i><br> <br>
But I now get the <a id="KonaLink6" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline !important;position:static;font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;" href="http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#"><font style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;" color="blue"><span class="kLink" style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;">following </span><span class="kLink" style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;">error</span></font></a>:<br> <br> <i>Freeing init memory: 88K<br>
Failed to execute /sbin/init. Attempting defaults...<br>
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.</i><br> <br>
I can see that the Root drive is being mounted.<br> <br>
The contents of the init file is:<br> <br> <i>#!/bin/busybox ash<br>
/bin/busybox mount -t sysfs /dev/<a id="KonaLink7" class="kLink" style="text-decoration: underline !important;position:static;font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;" href="http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/#"><font style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;" color="blue"><span class="kLink" style="color: blue !important; font-family:inherit !important;font-weight:inherit !important;font-size:inherit !important;position:static;">sys</span></font></a> /sys<br>

/bin/busybox mount -t devpts /dev/pts<br>
# Populate /dev according to /sys<br>
/bin/busybox mdev -s<br>
/bin/busybox --install -s<br>
/linuxrc<br>
exec /sbin/init "$@" </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1</i><br> <br>
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this please? <br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent;">Kind regards</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic;"><span>Andrew Ellis</span><br></div></div></body></html>
