[Udpcast] Problems while creating an own pxe kernel and initrd

[Thomas Kuehling]

Dear all,

with the standard initrd i build with the webcreator, it was not
possible to get this scsi-controller running. In the Dell Power Edge
1855s blades i've got this controller:

Perc4/IM | LSI  Logic MPT SCSI

I tried to build my own initrd and kernel. I compiled the kernel with
the initial .config of udpcast. I added the modules i thaught wich would
be correct.

[root at knecht linux-2.6.14.3]# diff udpc-config.txt .config

Now i copied the bzImage to /tftpboot/udpcast/linux and created the
initrd like this:

[root at knecht ~]# makeImage
-k /usr/src/linux-2.6.14.3/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
--initrd /tftpboot/udpcast/initrd --fullbox

In the next step i booted the blade, after the kernel was stared i got a
kernel panic with this message:

Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not synching: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel.

I searched with google for a soloution but found nothing helpfull. What
am i doing wrong? Could you help me please?

King regards
