Kernel Panic Problem

Hey Guys

I've spent literally all afternoon and evening searching for an answer
to this and despite the numerous solutions others have found, I've ended
up getting nowhere!

Basically, off the download currently available off the website, I've
transferred the bootloader to iPAQ File Store\Linux and the SD card
image to my SD card. However, when unzipping (in WinRAR), I encountered
loads of symbolic link errors. So, I unzipped them with Cygwin (command
line), being forced to exclude a few files in /media/ram/home/morgan.

When I boot, the screen does go to "white noise", then changes colour to
be predominantly red. Then, the main boot screen loads, producing mainly
positive results. It mounts the root FS (I changed default.txt to
/dev/mmcblk0p1) successfully, but then returns a kernel panic saying "No
init found. Try passing init= option to kernel."

I've tried saying init=/sbin/init, but it brings the same error up.
Basically, I haven't been able to find any solution to this message.

My default.txt file is basically unchanged from the default, other than
the change from mmcblk0p2 to mmcblk0p1.

Any help would be *greatly* appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Khyle.
