Looks like your kernel cannot find an init script to read.
But that message can be used as a sort of general purpose warning message.
init is a general purpose programme found in /etc which starts certain processes, at boot time it is controlled by /etc/inittab

I don't know if you have tried booting on failsafe, there are a lot of semi-automatic programmes that can sometimes fix things for you.
I think your file system must be fried to such an extent that it cannot find an init script to run.
I don't know though.
