single partition & no initramfs linux boot gets kernel panic












-2















  • compiled a kernel using gentoo specifications for Thinkpad T430


  • mounted empty ext4 hard drive and created boot/ directory on it, moved bzImage and System.map inside


  • Installed extlinux to it with "extlinux --install [mounted directory]/boot"



  • placed syslinux.cfg inside with the following config:



    DEFAULT linux
    SAY Now booting the kernel from EXTLINUX...
    LABEL linux
    KERNEL /boot/bzImage
    APPEND root=/dev/sdb rw init=/bin/bash


  • Created bin/ folder in mounted hard drive, placed bash binary inside



At this point i'm able to boot the kernel to the point where it has to run init, however it panics:



---[ Kernel Panic - not syncing: Requested init /bin/bash failed (error -2). ]---
