Kernel panic: no init found

Solution in my case:
- boot with tomsrtbt, it fails to load, I don't know why
- boot with Damn Small Linux like this: vmlinuz debug=10 (in order to prevent X from launching)
- vi /etc/fstab so as to get /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ext3 defaults 1 1
- mount /mnt/hda1
- chroot /mnt/hda1 /bin/bash
- dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-2.4.20-xfs
Probably /boot/initrd.gz was corrupted in some way... bad shutdown?
