    Dear All,

    I downloaded the Fedora Core 3 (kernel 2.6.9-1.667) ISO CDs from the
    following link.
    http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/
    I burn the CDs. I installed the Fedora Core 3 in an Intel Machine. It
    was working fine.

    Now I want to build the 2.6.6 kernel image. Then I downloaded the kernel
    tar file from the following link.
    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.6.tar.gz

    After that I did the following steps.

    1. I copied the downloaded tar file to the /usr/src directory.
    2. I un tar the downloaded tar file.
    3. I changed the owner to ROOT by
            #chown -R root:root /usr/src/linux-2.6.6

    After this I compiled the kernel by the following steps.

    4. #make menuconfig - to creating the config file
    5. #make clean
    6. #make bzImage

    Now I changed the EXTRAVERSION in Makefile

    7. #make modules
    8. #make modules_install
    9. #make install - this will copy the bzImage file to /boot

                                            directory and also updates the
    menu.list
                                            i.e. grub.conf file and copies
    System.map file etc.

    Every thing goes fine. After rebooting the system through this new
    kernel image
    I got the following error messages and system halted.

    Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting
    Enforcing mode requested but no policy loaded. Halting now.
    Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

    I succeeded in building the new kernel image, but un succeeded in
    booting from the new image. I tried 2 to 3 times. I got the same error.
      
    What am I doing wrong here? Please advice me with right one.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Srinivas G
