Kernel panic when trying to install XP

[Koenraad]

Hi,

I'm trying to install XP on a VMware workstation host. This did work before but now it doesn't anymore .
I can boot, but after a short while there's a kernel panic.
Since it's running on a VMware workstation host, I made a screenshot, but I don't know how to add an image (not a link to an image).
The image starts with :
Failed to execute /init (error -28)
Starting init: /sbin/init exists but could not execute it (error -28)
Starting init: /etc/init exists but could not execute it (error -13)
Starting init: /bin/sh exists but could not execute it (error -28)
Kernel panic - not syncing : No working init found. Try passing init= option to the kernel ...
...

miniroot is : miniroot-20140919.bz2

Hello,

did it work with the same bootimage before?
How much RAM does the VM have?


With kind regards

I don't know if it worked before with that boot-image. I'm not re-installing OS's very frequent, and I'm not updating my opsi-machine that frequent also (if it aint broken, don't fix it ).
I did a re-install of that Windows about a month ago. It's very well possible that after I installed the OS I updated opsi.
My VM for XP had 512MB of memory. Just tried with 720MB and it seems to work now.

Thanks.
