Re: panic: init died (signal 0, exit 12) during booting

Hi Christos,

Thanks for your reply.

I put a printf in syscall.c to print the syscall number and the last syscall 
number before the panic is 1 (i.e. sys_exit). I guess this is a supported 
syscall. 

What else could be the problem?

init seems to want to execute a system call that the kernel does not support.
perhaps you are running a newer userland? Put a printf in syscall.c to print
the number of the syscall you are running, and the last one printed will be
the one not supported.
