umount/initrd/proc failed :2 kernel panic: no int found
Hi there!
I have both windows XP and fedora core linux on my laptop. Yesterday I was in linux and just gave one file search ( that was taking long) and I stoped it in between and then I inserted one pendrive (which earlier also I had used with this laptop) and I found that there is some problem in saving the file in vi editor, it became just read only mode. Then I rebooted the machine but got following messages: Ext3 -fs : çan't read group descriptor 1 mount :error 22 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root (sysroot,/sysroot/initd) failed :2 umount/initrd/proc failed :2 kernel panic: No init found try passing init =option to kernel then it hangs I tried to see answers of similar questions but, could not do any thing. I tried some kernel options from ""grub>" but could not succeeded. I do not have botable CD for this linux. I had installed many related software on this linux so I do not want to loose it. Is there a way to fix this problem? I have one bootable Knoppix linux but that too not taking me to my that partion of the system, means I could boot it through Knoppix bootable CD but couldnot access my earlier files. If possible please help me. Thanks, Mini |

Let's say you don't have a sepparate /boot partition, then give us the output of: Code:
cat /mount/point/of/your/installed/root/partition/boot/grub/menu.lst Code:

Please tell me whether this much information could be of any use? I could not find boot partion of my linux system. Thanks, Mini |
Code:
ls -al /mnt/hda2 |
