Problem while installing new kernel 2.6.12.1


Hello everybody.

Well, after trying for about 2 hours, I finally managed to get everything extracting and compiling fine.

I edited my lilo.conf, and at the end added the following:

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12.1
label=2.6.12.1
read-only
root=/dev/hda6

now, when I reboot and select the new config from the boot load, it says a lot, then all of a sudden says the following:

Kernel Panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

and freezes.

Can somebody help me what im doing wrong? thanks

Hope you didn't forget to create the new initrd image for the new kernel image!
Try 'mkinitrd' command; don't forget to see the options first.
Hope this helps!
