Kernel panic

mssun · 2014-07-10 08:02:15

I did a normal system update, and get a kernel panic error in starting. It says that "
Fail to execute /init (error -2)
Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

I tried to down grade to a lower kernel, and update all others packages. But, I still cannot boot my system.

Do you guys have some suggestions? Thank you very much.

Try adding 'init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd' to your kernel line.

Thank you. Do you mean by adding GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd' in /etc/default/grub file and grub2-mkconfig?

I still cannot repair the kernel issue. I have tried a lot of solutions. Are there something I miss?
Thank you very much.

That's where you can add it if you don't edit grub.cfg directly, however in Arch you run grub-mkconfig afterwards and not grub2-mkconfig. You also don't use the '', I have used it only to delimit what you have to use.

It should look like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd"
