Hi, I sent a similar report a couple of weeks ago but got no
response. Can Someone Who Knows (TM) please have a look at it and tell
me what's wrong with this Olivetti Netstrada? It works with 2.2.18 but
all the 2.4.x kernels didn't work so far. I tried also changing
compile options, eliminating all that is not strictly necessary to
boot, but got the same error.
here is it:

Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
970 warnings issued. Results may not be reliable.
(this is because I ran it on a different machine, the system.map was
the one from the crashing kernel, though)
Also, I just realized that this stupid bios tells the kernel to have a
lot of memory, while it only has 128 M (see the line just at the
beginning of the boot output).
here's what's inside this machine:
