Subject: Kernel panic - not syncing

I am trying to build a new CentOS 6.4 64bit host.

Started with a Minimal Desktop, followed the instruction on the wiki, 
but when I reboot I get:

  kernel panic - not syncing. No init found. Try passing init= option
  Pid: 1. comm: init Not tainted 
2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.vs2.3.0.36.29.6.31.x86_64

There are Call Trace: lines but I only have them as a image with my 
phone.  If they will help I'll transpose them to text.

This kernel is from Daniel's repo.

   2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.vs2.3.0.36.29.6.31.x86_64

The CentOS kernel is (which boots just fine):

   2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64

Any suggestions on how to get this working?


Additionally: I'm about 35 miles from the server, no IPMI (yet), so I 
have to travel for each reboot/test attempt.


TIA,
Rod
