[ELDK] Kernel Panic on init

[Hart Jr., Glenn G]

I am using ELDK 4.1 to cross compile Linux for the powerpc (44x) on a Xilinx FPGA.  I was able to get the kernel to compile, but it now stops after trying to start init.  Below is the output from the debug terminal:

It seems init is crashing and therefore the kernel panics.  I am using a hello_world.c program to test init.  I compile the program with gcc -static hello_world.c -o init.  I used this init in my initramfs and my output is below.  Anybody know what I am doing wrong?
