Busybox dies on booting

[Roger Varley]

Hi

I'm new to the embedded arena and I'm trying to implement Busybox.
When I try to boot my system Busybox fails to work as init and I get
the message "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init"

I'm using Busybox 1.13.3 with kernel 2.6.28.8 and using an NFS root
file system. I've followed the FAQ and created a "Hello World",
passing that in the command line init=/bin/hello works and I see the
message. Replacing sbin/init with the System V init from my host
system also starts up without a problem.

I don't see any error messages on the console to suggest what might be
going wrong? Any suggestions on how to proceed would be welcome

Regards
