Hi all, I tried to alt-init Lubuntu 15.04, and as a starting point, added init=/bin/bash to see where I would pop up and what I had to do. It came to a subset shell that looked something like busybox, and it appeared to me I was still in the initramfs. I tried using switch_root to mount the root partition, but for some reason (a week ago, I dont remember) that didn't work either.
I tried removing the initrd= line from grub, and putting noinitrd on the kernel line, but that just kernel panicked. It was like before the initramfs this thing didn't have the drivers to read an ordinary ext4 partition. Have any of you had experience with situations like this, and what steps did you take to figure out how to alt-init it.
