Kernel panic - not syncing : Attempted to kill init

Hi All,

i have installed vmware workstation 9 on windows 7, installed Red Hat Linux 5 64-bit and on top of that installed my customized kernel 2.6.32 version.

installation went fine but when ever i reboot the server its hitting kdb and showing message like"kernel panic - not syncing : Attempted to kill init"

and its working fine with kernel 2.6.18 version.

clarification i need:

1.which scenario kernel will kill?

2.how to mount initrd manually if  it fails at booting time or not able to find root path?

i am waiting for your responses.............................

Thanks,

Jagan.
