From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: I used up2date to upgrade the kernel on a Dell Poweredge 1650 from 2.4.7-10smp to 2.4.9-34smp and when I rebooted, I got a "kernel panic - no init found" and a message to add an init= option. Fortunately, rebooting using the previous kernel worked. I'm using GRUB as my boot loader. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.loading with the 2.4.9-34smp kernel 2.Reboot 3. Actual Results: kernel panic - no init found Expected Results: normal boot up and running Additional info: Grub.conf contents as follows # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda2 default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Linux (2.4.9-34smp) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-34smp ro root=/dev/sda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.9-34smp.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.9-34) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-34 ro root=/dev/sda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.9-34.img title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10smp) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10smp ro root=/dev/sda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10smp.img title Red Hat Linux-up (2.4.7-10) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/sda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img Also dmesg for other kernel (2.4.7-10) Linux version 2.4.7-10smp (bhcompile.redhat.com) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)) #1 SMP Thu Sep 6 17:09:31 EDT 2001 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000001fff0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000001fff0000 - 000000001fffec00 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000001fffec00 - 000000001ffff000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec10000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee10000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fff00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Scanning bios EBDA for MXT signature found SMP MP-table at 000fe710 hm, page 000fe000 reserved twice. hm, page 000ff000 reserved twice. hm, page 000f0000 reserved twice.

Does the text in the url: http://lists.us.dell.com/cgi-bin/fom?_highlightWords=aacraid&file=57 describe/fix your problem ?
I have 2 interesting cases there: in both is the HW as above, both had an upgrade to 2.4.9-34 in one there were no problems at all, means no need to edit modules.conf before creating an initrd, the machine started straightaway... the other had the symptoms as above, followed the instructions in the given URL, but with no success: the machine will always stand with a "kernel panic: no init found"... to be honest I don't know what to think...
