Kernel Panic After Restoring Linux Partition
Kernel Panic After Restoring Linux Partition ( post #1)
Hello forum,
After restoring my Linux partition with Acronis True Image mirroring software, I get the following message half way through the boot process:
starting udev
can't mount root file system
kernel panic no init found try init= options
But whenever I do a clean install of this same version of Linux to test my system on that same partition, everything boots up fine. So that proves to me that my computer is working OK. And Linux was working fine when I first made the backup image so it must be good too. I would rather use the restore instead of performing a clean install to save all of my installed programs and settings.
I am using Mandrakelinux 10.1 kernel version 2.6.8.1 - 12
If I run lsparts from the rescue CD, all of my partitions show up OK.
If I run init=/ sbin/ init at LILO after hitting the escape key, I still get the same error message.
If I attempt to do an upgrade install to try to fix it, it says oops - no root partition.
Can anybody help me please?
Thanks in advance,
Roy
