Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

[liuxing]

Hi all,

  I meet a weird issue when porting linux 4.14.78. When the kernel try to start the init process,the kernel will enter a panic state. 

The CPU is imx28,and the cross compiler version is Linaro GCC 7.3-2018.05.

The root file system is busybox-1.29.3.

Is there anyone can give some advices for it?

Thanks very much!

Hi xing

ususally kernel panic is caused by memory errors so one can recheck it

with memory test

Board Bring-up and DDR Initialization Tools
