All processes that the system runs on a Linux-based system is the root of init. While booting, it made the last step, identified by process ID ‘1 ‘. References Linux / etc / inittab to start the process system. Init also controls the process and order the shutdown.
Although the system starts, so you will not be able to start the system error, as it continues could not find boot, chances are good that the initrd is damaged. In critical situations can be, you must perform a clean installation of the system. Because it causes loss of data, you need to recover lost data from backup after performing a clean installation. But if you confronted a back-up questions, you must use the Advanced Linux Data Recovery tools, specialized tools, you get to recover lost data.
For example, if you try to boot Linux-based system, you may receive the following error message:
“Kernel panic: No init found. Tip: init = option to kernel parameter”
The error message indicates that the system is unable to find initrd.
CAUSE
Possible causes of Linux-based system for presenting this problem are:
No statement by the initrd, while in grub prompt or in the file grub.conf
The root of the declaration of kernel parameter ‘is not valid on the hard drive or disk partition
Was initrd file is either corrupted or deleted
Solution
It is recommended that these measures for this problem as follows:
Make sure you have the correct inirtd used to grub it can pass to the kernel
You must change the parameters of the root, one that contains the root (/) folder, change it. For example, “root = / dev/hda3 ‘if / dev/hda3 is the root partition
If the initrd is damaged or deleted, the Linux rescue disk for Linux. Then you should chroot / dev / hdXX ( “x” refers to the hard drive and the letter “Y” refers to the partition) command to change to the root of your hard drive
If the above measures are not feasible or not, do a clean install of the system. Thus, the data and restoring backups. Sometimes backup error or omission. Such situations require the use of software under Linux Data Recovery. They are tools of media analysis and provide secure Linux Data Recovery.
Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery is an advanced data recovery as Ext2, Ext3 and support systems ReiserFS file. These data recovery Linux application offers advanced features such as RAW File Recovery, File Filter, and chains in file headers, etc. It is with almost all Linux distributions: Gentoo, Slackware, Mandrake, Ubuntu, SuSE etc. compatible
