Marc,
what did you specify for your init= in loadlin ?
When I tag a kernel, I use the following:
mknbi-linux --output=vmlinuz.ltsp \
--append="init=/linuxrc rw" \
--rootdir="/dev/ram0" \
bzImage initrd.ltsp.gz
If you don't supply the 'init=' parameter, the kernel will first try to
run /sbin/init, then if that fails, it will try to run a shell. You need
to force it to run /linuxrc.
Hope that helps,
Jim McQuillan
