John P. and I work together and I am acutally the one trying to get DevFS to
work on Red Hat 8.0. As he said we had no problem with getting it to run in
Red Hat 7.3. Mainly I am just wondering what you guys do with your init
scripts. On 7.3 we used the wrapper.sh from Dan Robbins' DevFS tutorial
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs6/wrapper.sh. Trying it
using the exact same technique now yields the below error messages.

Freeing unused kernel memory: 244k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
The Kernel I am using is a rebuild of the 2.4.18-18.8.0(I have also tried on
the previous two 2.4.18-14 and 2.4.18-17.8.0) with no luck and I do edit the
Makefile in /usr/src/linux(both linux and linux-2.4 point to the right
kernel). We were also able to successfully get the 2.4.18-17.7 to work in
7.3 which leads me to believe it is more of a OS than kernel problem. All
of the kernel options were also set correctly since the .config used is the
same one as the one used in the 2.4.18-17.7 on 7.3 also on the same
computer.
Thank very much for any help you can offer.
