Hello
I'm trying to boot my laptop to my Linux partition (dual boot with w2k ). I start the boot process and I encounter a problem in the fstab file trying to access a USB disconnected hard drive . I try and fix the problem only to get the message that the ext2 file system super block on all my Linux partitions is corrupted. I run the fsck.ext2 on the root file system and it fails to work , instructing me to use e2fsck , which I do , but it fails on the same error that the super block is corrupted .
I tried to take my recover floppy and use if to boot the laptop so I can fix the problem , but I kept getting : "kernel panic No init process left for this level try "init= kernel option"
I tried the following :
init=/sbin/sh init=/bin/bash
init=/sbin/sash
init=/etc/inittab -b
all came out with the same kernel panic error .
The machine is/was mdk9.1 with 2.4.22-23mdk . suggestions any one ??
My 2 cents -- the "init=" parameter does not specify a shell (bash/tcsh etc) -- it specifies the location of the "init" program which is responsible for the startup process. It's usually placed in /sbin/init. However, I think that if "root=" is set to the right partition it should have found it if the file is indeed in /sbin/init. Check if your "root=" parameter is directed to the right partition.
