initramfs problem - /init file

Hello everybody,

I created a tiny root filesystem, just with Busybox, that I want to use=
 as
rootfs through initramfs (and keep it as the final root filesystem).

First of all, I probed this root filesystem using NFS to be sure it wor=
ked
and in fact, it did. Then I created an init file which is a link to
/sbin/init and I inserted the created cpio file with this filesystem in=

CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE. When I boot the system up, I get the following=

error:

Failed to execute /init

Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init=3D option =
to
kernel.


If I also tried with an init script instead to a link to /sbin/init, bu=
t
this error happens again.
I think the kernel finds the initramfs right, because if I don't add th=
e
init file, I get a different error:


VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(0,0)

Please append a correct "root=3D" boot option;


What is the problem with "init"?
Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance,

Ra=FAl Moreno
