centos 6.4 does not boot - a kernel panic issue for initialization
 
Hello

I have installed a CentOS 6.4 on VmWare.

Now, after several days of using it, it suddenly does not boots. There is a problem with its initialization, here is the error:

Kernel Panic : Unalble to init. Try passing init= option to the kernel.
Pid 1 : Swapper not tainted.

I have used CentOS.iso to rescue it, but it still does not solve it.

My grub.conf contains:

PHP Code:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img

 initrd

How should I solve it then? Thanks in advance

No one has a solution?

What did you do exactly with the rescue? What commands did you run? Have you reinstalled grub?

The only think I did was rescue-installed the .iso CentOS which I originally used for the installation of the OS. I haven't done anything else, as nothing came to my mind.

well with 6.4 you will have MANY UNSOLVABLE PROBLEMS ( yes cap and in bold)
6.4 is unsupported
DO NOT USE !!!

reinstall with the current SUPPORTED operating system
CentOS 6.6 or 7.0

you will have a near impossible time installing things on 6.4
most of the old 6.4 mirrors are dead or have a WARNING!!!! place holder

from the artic computing center mirror
http://mirrors.arsc.edu/centos/6.4/
-- to quote the 6.4 placeholder "readme"
Quote:

This directory (and version of CentOS) is deprecated. For normal users,
you should use /6/ and not /6.4/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
concerning the CentOS release scheme:

https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General

If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 6.4
level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages.

Please keep in mind that 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 no longer gets any updates, nor
any security fix's.
reinstall with 6.6 or with 7.0
