Ciani,
 
     When you compiled the kernel, did you compile the modules for your new kernel after the kernel compile itself?  If you have told the "make menuconfig" to use certain options as modules, but you don't compile the modules, then you will have problems because the kernel may be looking for those modules and not find them.

I am fairly new to kernel configuration, I would like to know if there is a template defining a minimum set of drivers needed for my/any kernel to boot properly; such that a foundation can be built for all subsequent kernel builds. In the particular example on the PocketLinux project page I received a kernel panic message asking that parameters be passed to init although the kernel has been told to run the shell directly through the boot loader. Additionally I have configured and compiled kernels successfully, problem is init failures are pervasive. I am left to assume my kernel configuration is invalid… All help is appreciated
