RFS fails at Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

Thu Nov 5 09:10:06 UTC 2009

Hi all,
there  is an issue with the hardware we are working on. which has a bad data
cache..or we cant enable the cache while creating the TLB in kernel. 'n can
it be the reason why the illegal instruction exception pops up ? because it
was said in a mailing list that *" I don't think lwarx/stwcx. will work on
non-cacheable pages, and dcbz will be troublesome too... ."
*WILL IT BE THE REASON FOR THIS ERROR ???*
