[ale] Kernel Panic: No init found. Try passing init= to kernel. ? ? ? ? ?

[Courtney Thomas]

Thank you for replying. I was embarassed to bother you again.

I've already tried your suggestion. The particulars:

/bin/init			;init location
/bin/ash			;ash shell
ln -s /bin /sbin		;pointer to sbin
ln -s /bin/ash /bin/sh		;pointer to sh

#!/bin/ash 
		;init script
echo Finally make it !
/bin/ash

I see that you indicate init is in /sbin. On RH6.1 it's in /bin. Is that 
my error ?

Appreciatively, and now desperately,
Courtney
