I got this problem as well. This is the system of one of my roommates. She has Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04 in dual-boot, after a crash Ubuntu won't start and complains that init was missing at boot:
"No init found. Try passing init= bootarg." I started from an Ubuntu 10.10 live CD and ran fsck from a terminal, but it says: fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/mapper/vg-trash Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? What's the solution to all this? Would it be possible to fix this bug by downloading and using a newer Live CD of Ubuntu? If so, which version is the first one that will work? Can I fix the bug with a newer CD but still keep the old system (10.04)? She's not interested in updating her whole system every other day (every 6 months) and it's no coincidence she is running the LTS version, but if only installing a newer version of the OS helps I'd do that, too.
