[Gumstix-users] Help!! Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

[Rami Al-M. <r.a...@cs...>]

I was trying to upgrade my libc6 package from 2.5 to 2.7 and then the gumstix
just completely crashed! I think what happened is ipkg install started
over-writing kernel files :/ What do I have to do to fix this? reinstall the
kernel? reflash it? or does it need to be sent to the factory??? help
please!!

this is the error i get now when i try to reboot:

XScale iWMMXt coprocessor detected.
VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 148K
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to
kernel.


And this is the log from when i tried installing the newer libc6 package:

root@gumstix-custom-verdex:~$ ipkg install libc6_2.7-18_arm.deb
