Hi, everyone.

I recently built a kernel 3.5.7, but my system doesn't boot with it.
More precisely, it appears not to be starting init, since the line
containing "INIT" and "version 2.88" is missing from my console display.

The booting process did get as far as mounting my root partition RO.

My system boots fine with 3.3.8.

In my 3.5.7. .config, I've checked obvious things like having the ext3
driver built in.

Would somebody please give me some idea what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks!
