Fix Error Message: No Init Found

This is an error message I’ve seen a few time. Hopefully it helps.

Error message: Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found, Try passing init= option to kernel

If the above error message appears, verify the following files exist:

• /sbin/init - Called by the kernel during boot
• /sbin/telinit - Soft link back to init
• /lib/cpp - May be a soft link to /etc/alternatives/cpp
• /lib/ld-linux.so.2 - or another #
• /lib/libc.so.6 - or another #
• /etc/inittab - file that contains all the runlevels for Linux
