    Re: no init found, Try passing init=bootarg and then some

    I haven't. I'm wondering if it might not be an issue with the boot sector on the drive perhaps? I just tried a fresh install of a different liveCD and got the same result the first time I rebooted. Thinking it may not be directly OS-related... Going to try another hard drive when I get some more time and find another spare.

    Thats true, looks like there is a issue with OS. This must be a major bug. None like to wake up and see a cashed machine!

    Sorry I haven't updated, I forgot all about this thread. I installed on a different hard drive and haven't had an issue since, so I guess for the time being I am going to stand by my previous assumption that it was an issue with the drive and not the OS.

    This, of course, doesn't help in fixing the issue for others...

    it worked!
    there were solutions like holding shift key while booting, and to select the kernel and to do fix.
    i tried it and my system is normal now.

    Re: no init found, Try passing init=bootarg and then some

    Hi!

    I had the problem too, but it was my fault. My computer hung, so I switched it off. Afterwards I got this error.

    To fix it is easy. Just boot from a USB-stick or CD and do fsck.

    Some instructions:

    List your partitions:
    Code:
     ls /dev/sd*
    If you haven't got an encrypted disk just do (where sda5 is the corrupted partition):
    Code:
    fsck /dev/sda5
    If you are using an encrypted hard-disk (i do) do

    Code:
    sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda5 something
    where sda5 is the encrypted partition and someting is the name under which you will find the partition (/dev/mapper/something).

    The install Lvm and look for volumes :

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install lvm2
    sudo pvscan
    sudo vgscan
    The last command should list the at least one volume-group
    Enable it or the ones you're interested in

    Code:
    sudo vgchange -a y groupname
    Now list the logical volumens

    Code:
    sudo lvscan
    Your drive you're interested in should now appear under /dev/mapper

    do a fsck

    Code:
    sudo fsck /dev/mapper/logical-volume
    Lots of errors! Off course you want to have them all fixed. REBOOT!
    This worked for me!

    Best regards!

    Re: This works: sudo fsck -f -y /dev/mapper/logical-volume

    Hi guys,

    i had to ad -f for force. Without fsck does not find any errors.

    Code:
    sudo fsck -f /dev/mapper/logical-volume
    if you get a lot of errors you can add -y for silent mode:

    Code:
    sudo fsck -f -y /dev/mapper/logical-volume

    Talking Re: no init found, Try passing init=bootarg and then some

    Dear friends, I had same problem with ubuntu 10.10. I run many cods

    in terminal but they did not work. finaly I try with slax. I run slax live CD and run its terminal the following code:

    Code:
    e2fsck -y -f -v /dev/sda1
    sda1 is the partition where my ubuntu was installed.

    then rest slax and I could login to ubuntu again.

    So great slax,

    I put the install disk in now how do I get it to boot? It doesn't do It automatically.
    My screen says:
    No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.

    BusyBox v1.13.3 ( ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
    Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
