LinuxQuestions.org - Linux kernel

Hi,

I am trying to boot up rather a large root-fs of 21MB. After changing the root file system size, I could get the kernel to recognize the root file system at least, but it does not find init in it. Any ideas?
(I tried passing init=/sbin/init on the command line, but somehow that line is ignored by the kernel)

Here is the log:
