CentOS - Kernal Panic -not syncing Attempted to Kill init
HI I have a Dell 1900 running CentOS 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.centos.plus.
I was unable to access the server and had to reboot it. When the server was booting after the Grub, it errored out with Kernal Panic -not syncing Attempted to Kill init!! exec of init (/sbin/init/) failed No such directory I reboot into the recuse mode from the CD and when looking for the installed OS. I got an error like this Found OS but with errors. Mounting part or all of your system at /mnt/sysimage.. something of the sort. I've run fsk -y on the /boot and root drives and rebooted but still the same issues. Here is my grub.conf: # 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. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.centos.plus) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.centos.plus ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.11.3.el5.centos.plus.img title CentOS (2.6.18-194.11.1.el5.centos.plus) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.11.1.el5.centos.plus ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.11.1.el5.centos.plus.img title CentOS (2.6.18-128.1.14.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.1.14.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.18-128.1.14.el5.img Here is my fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/data /data ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 /mirror ext3 defaults 0 0 I've also tried to chroot /mnt/sysimage /bin/bash but I get and error of no such file or directory I can see my files under /mnt/sysimage and everything seems to be intact. Thanks in advance!! |
Suspect some kind of filesystem corruption or partition damage. Possibly even Hard Drive failure?
When in Rescue mode (from the CD) - Choose Continue. Before running 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' Run: # df -h # fdisk -l Please paste the output here so we can help figure it out. |
Try to look at smartd logs or what ever hwmonitor you might have for your drives. I does sound like file system corruption. But indeed you could have a failed hd.

Thank guys! I will post the outputs or fdisk -l and df -h a bit later today.

output of fdisk -l:

Well, your root & boot partitions are still mounting at least in rescue mode. There does appear to be a partition missing, judging from ur fstab.
You could not chroot into /mnt/sysimage? if so, look inside /mnt/sysimage. Check if /mnt/sysimage/bin/bash is actually there, what's it's permissions. Look in /var/log/messages. Look for any errors at around the time the trouble started. Look in /var/log/dmesg for any hardware errors. |
Sorry for the late response, I've been out of town but I'll take a look at it today and get back to you.
Thanks for the assistance! Update: I still can't chroot into /mnt/sysimage. I checked the permissions of /mnt/sysimage/bin/bash and its root.root |
