I've  encountered a difficlult to launch init  after mount root on nfs.

Can somebody help me ?

Follows details:

I have compiled a 2.4.7-10 kernel whith autoconfiguration ip, with root 
on nfs and placed on /tftpboot
the kernel mount /tftbboot but dont start init.


On console of first ws:

IP-Config: Got DHCPanswer from 10.1.1.1 my address is 10.0.0.2
...
VFS: Mounted root (nfs filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 180k freed

Kernel panik: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

i have recompiled main.c with printk( %d ), errno
end i obtined 8
with perror on have
Error code   8:  Exec format error


If i mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.old

then i obtine error 14.


ON the server /var/log/messages i have:

10.1.1.2.
