[SOLVED] No init fount. Try passing init= bootarg

Hi
today I found that my ubuntu doesn't boot and stuck at

Code:

No init fount. Try passing init= bootarg.
BusyBox v1.15.3(Ubuntu 1.1.15.3 - 1ubuntu5)built-in shell
enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
(initframs).

I booted from live cd and run

Code:

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# fsck -f /dev/sda1
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1
Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?

I don't know why it says such thing, because it is not mounted

Code:

root@ubuntu:~$ umount /dev/sda1
umount: /dev/sda1: not mounted

So how can I fix that?

looks like hard drive dieing or bad sectors. If you can't mount it for checks via live cd(even with force options and long time wait) try to use mhdd livecd/floppy(shame it's dos only tool) to run full bad sector checks.

Actually I run the gparted from live cd and perform a check on /dev/sda1
after correcting some errors, it is now ok. the system can boot normally.
