Kernel panic : No init found. Try passing init= option

[Alexis Guilloteau]

Hi,

i extracted my archive on my ubuntu computer and /sbin/init exist and is
linked to /bin/busybox.
But when i tried to extract it in my system the folders are all empty. (it
is the same archive)

i use the command :
tar zxvf busybox_1.23.1_arm.tar.gz -C /mnt/SD/test

to extract the archive busybox_1.23.1_arm.tar.gz which is in /mnt/SD in
order to chroot in /mnt/SD/test. The v show me that i am extrating files
but when going into the /bin /sbin and /user folder extracted they are
empty. Only the busybox executable is present in /bin but when trying to
run it i have "permission denied".

Kind regards,
AG
