[uml-user] Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

[Adam A. <ad...@at...>]

I'm trying to run a UML system. Specifically, I'm using Umlazi  
(though I have this problem even if I run the kernel manually), with  
the prebuilt Debian-Woody-Base + UMLconfig system. I've tried three  
kernels -- linux-2.4.22-xfs5um, linux-2.4.26-20040615-1um, and  
vmlinux-2.6.14.3-bs3. In every case, the kernel dies thusly:

> kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
> EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
> VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
> Mounted devfs on /dev
> init_new_context_skas - new_mm failed, errno = -13
> init_new_context_skas - new_mm failed, errno = -13
> Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

I've messed around with the kernel options, but to no avail. Any ideas?
