(initramfs) failure


Hi. Suddenly when I rebooted Ubuntu 10.10 (kernel 2.6.35.28) it took me to (initramfs) prompt.

More errors from up-above:
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 requested /sbin/init
No init found. Try passing init=bootarg.
BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash)

I tried mounting the sda2 from the liveCD but it just kept on mounting it without any success! Tried fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda2 but it said:
fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda2
Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?

Any suggestions?
