[SLUG] 2.6.8.1 Kernel Panic

[Rod Butcher]

Is anybody aware of this problem ? Mandrake are still getting it with 
10.1 beta, and I get it with the source from kernel.org. I've seen some 
inconclusive posts about not making ext3 a module, and about changes to 
SATA handling (from IDE to SCSI) which I've checked OK in .config, but I 
understand that isn't new in 2.6.8. Error reads :-
error 6 mounting ext3
pivot_root (/sysroot,  /sysroot /initrd) failed : 2
kernel panic : no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

my /boot does contain initrd-2.6.8.1.img, vmlinuz-2.6.8.1, etc.
Has someting in 2.6.8 been tweaked  requiring different or new lilo boot 
options ?
thanks
rod
