Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.

Hi guys, I'm looking for some help. I've successfully installed new Slackware 15 on an old IBM x3400 server. After finishing the installation, the system rebooted and then I got a kernel panic.

I've taken a screenshot of it and here is the OCR output, so there might be a few mistakes, but it should clearly show what happened. Do you have any idea how to solve this?
