Booting ML405 (Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found)

[John Linn]

The only difference I see is the tools, we are using ELDK 4.1 for now.

I have tested this on the ML405 in the past, not for a bit as our
automated testing uses an NFS root.

Since this is arch/ppc (it appears, no boot line), we have stopped work
on this architecture and are now encouraging (maybe a stronger word is
needed) you to move to arch/powerpc.

The arch/ppc was last stable at git tag last-arch-ppc and I know it
started getting more unstable after I started pulling in 2.6.26-rcx.  We
won't be doing any more changes to arch/ppc.
