[ale] Kernel panic: No init found?????

[jhseymour at directvinternet.com (Jim Seymour)]

Hi All,

	Recently my RH 7.1 system was running very slowly.  It would take
forever to load a program if at all.  I decided to shutdown and reboot. 
Upon attempting to reboot I got the following:

Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

	I have tried booting the various kernels I have with the same result
every time.  I cannot find my boot disk and have not been able to figure
out rescue mode on the RH 7.1 bootable cdrom.  The above message comes
up right after it has freed the unused kernel memory.

	Any idea as to what it wants as an option?  I 've never had to enter
any kernel options with RH 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 7.0 or 7.1.

TIA,
Jim Seymour
