pre-built images result in "Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to "

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. sudo ./mkmmc-reflash.sh /dev/mmcblk0p beagleboard
2. sudo ./mkmmc-android.sh /dev/mmcblk0p beagleboard
~/rowboat-prebuilt/uImage
~/rowboat-prebuilt/beagleboard-donut-rootfs-2009-12-22.tar.bz2
3.power on board

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected it would work. Instead, get a kernal panic while trying to open
the console. 

Here is what I see 
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) on device 179:2.
Freeing init memory: 168K
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Failed to execute /init.  Attempting defaults...
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Tried builds from both 2009-12-22 & 2009-11-03. 

Get same result. 

Please provide any additional information below.

Tried changing the bootargs. Nothing helps. As best I can tell, the
pre-built kernal is not built with the right options for the BeagleBoard. 

Has anyone gotten the pre-built image to work?
