To me, that looks like /dev/sda1 (which is what the kernel is using as root=) doesn't contain any of the following: /sbin/init /etc/init /bin/init /bin/sh Noting that the kernel output implied that it was an ext2 filesystem, that looks like it mounted your /boot as /, which fails as there isn't any init available on it. PS: In case you were wondering how I knew it was /dev/sda1, that's what "device 8:1" means: the block device with major number 8 and minor number 1, which happens to be the major:minor assigned to /dev/sda1. - -- Jonathan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkrfW+UACgkQOypDUo0oQOo/NgCgq1C7LyfDRiEAFRiuqq9Me+5Q EyMAnjvpfvmfcFFlczPJb7SruygZF/lN =KMh5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
