Can we build a diskless linux without recomiling kernel?

I am using mkinitcpio

and in my mkinitcpio.conf, i add "net" to HOOK

my kernel parameter is

ip=:::::eth0:dhcp root=/dev/nfs rootfstype=nfs

the nfs root is specified in /etc/dhcpd.conf on the server and

the client can boot the kernel but stopped:

address 172.16.99.1 broadcast:172.16.99.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 0.0.0.0 dns0:172.16.99.254 dns1:0.0.0.0
rootserver 172.16.99.254 rootpath:/remote/node1
filename pxelinux.0
kinit /sbin/init: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Any ideas?

Re: Can we build a diskless linux without recomiling kernel?

have you tried using fallback kernel?
