Problem with dev on when starting


Hello,

I started this morning mine laptop with Ubuntu. But then the thing won't start up. The laptop shows me a message with al kind of numbers. And
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/ sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/ proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init = bootarg.

Busybox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built in shell (ash)

I really don't know what that means or how to fix this. Maybe you guys can help me out.

Thanks in advance

Brontes

Can you boot with a live cd and post a screenshot of the content of your disk? (the top level, not your home directory)
