Failed to execute /init

I recently upgraded linux from 3.17 to 3.18 and now whenever I try to boot I get a kernel panic. I have tried booting from a live-usb and arch-chroot and downgrading linux, mkinitcpio -p linux, and grub-mkconfig. None of this has helped at all.

Thanks for the help.

Re: Failed to execute /init

Say a little more about this recent upgrade. What kernel are you using? The regular version in the core repo was upgraded to 3.18 in December...so how recent was your upgrade? How much else was upgraded? Which versions exactly did you upgrade from, upgrade to, and then downgrade to? Give us more specifics to work with.

Re: Failed to execute /init

I was on 3.17 upgraded to the newest kernel on core which was 3.18. I also upgrade the linux-headers to the most recent and downgraded that as well but to 3.16 (would that cause this?). When I noticed I couldn't boot I then downgraded the kernel back to 3.17. But even when I downgrade the kernel with arch-chroot and reboot, linux tells me its running 3.18.

Are you doing partial upgrades?

Re: Failed to execute /init

Is there anything in the journal relating to the issue? Without more diagnostic material, it is not reallt possible to offer much in the way of help...

Re: Failed to execute /init

Nope nothing in the journal because systemd is not even running. But thanks anyway.

Re: Failed to execute /init

You could give us more info.  Maybe a photo of the kernel panic you see or the first few lines?  Your lsblk, fstab, mkinit conf, bootloader conf, pacman log... anything.

Re: Failed to execute /init

Have you tried passing the init option to the bootloader?
