I am using linux for about 8-10 months. I am running redhat linux 7.2 and
winXP.

While I was working in linux, sudenlly gave kernel panic error. This is the
second time I am getting this error. Last time just reinstalled linux and it
ran well for one month and today it happened again.

The error message given is:

kernel panic:No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

What could be the reson? What I can do for not getting that error again.

Thanks in advance.

This happens at boot, not "While I was working in Linux" - so...

The system re-booted for some reason - may be anything from bad RAM to
heat to bad disk

The reboot sounds like either a disk problem or a drive controller
problem prior to the kernel actually running - might be a BIOS problem
where you have moved the kernel out past the 8 Gig barrier (or 1024
cylinders) or some such.

Take the two together and I'd say the system rebooted due to a disk
problem and then the same disk problem caused the "No init found" - check
your drives and cooling.
