Kernel panic: no init found. try passing init to kernel

[Ann]

It occurs right when one should be about to get ready to log in. "Cannot
open initial console" comes just before the kernel  panic message about no
init found.

| Hi

| Well I can't give you exact instruction as I don't know what is required
| for the modem.  If you've been reading you should know what it requires.
| I guess that you need parameters passing to the kernel.  Such as port
| and irq, although, I would have thought that it was a plug n play
| device.  But if it does need parameters passing to the kernel, you just
| append them to the loadlin line of your batchfile.
|
| A quick search on google is likely to provide you with step by step
| instruction.
|
| That's assuming that it is down to the modem, as you haven't stated
| exactly when this occurs.  It may be that something else has been
| changed.
