Hello,

I have a simple ISO filesystem set up with busybox and grub.These are the commands I use in GRUB2 to start the system:

    grub> set root=(cd)
    grub> linux /boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda1
    grub> initrd /boot/initrd
    grub> boot


I don't know how to get the full kernel error log, but the final error is "kernel panic: attempted to kill init! error code: 0x00007f00". I tried building a static "Hello, world!" program as the FAQ said, and it worked. What could be causing the error?

You didn't provide any details about what is inside the initrd or the filesystem, where they came from, or what process you used to create them, so the problem could be just about anything.  There isn't even enough here to know whether it was busybox's init that died or the script inside the initrd.  Is busybox inside the initrd? or on /dev/sda1? or both? Chances are, you should probably ask on the forum/list related to the instructions you are following, such as buildroot.

If you can narrow it down to knowing for sure that busybox's init got called, and that calling other busybox applets (like '/bin/date', assuming that is one of your applets) succeeds, and give us any lines of error message that these generated before the kernel panic, and show us the /etc/inittab, then we can help a lot more accurately.
