Hey guys

Sorry if I'v made a dublicate topic , but after many search I couldn't find a solution for my issue .

Everything was fine but after mountign a USB cool dist my laptop was freezed and I had to restart the system and after restarting this happend :

ERROR: Root device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist.

I tried adding init location to grub by pressing 'e' and it's said can't found the init command
I checked everything is there place
sbin/init and others

what can I do in rootfs$: ?

regards

This happened to me today.

Did you remove the systemd-sysvcompat package?

I wouldn't think so.

Check /var/log/pacman.log

You can chroot into your system and re-install the package (that's what I did).

How exactly did you go about this?

Please explain this is (much) more detail.

Please remove the superfluous "[issue]" tag from your title and read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way.

As mentioned, systemd-sysvcompat provides the /usr/bin/init symlink. But this should point to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd. Does this file exist?

Also, is /sbin a symlink to /usr/bin?

I'v checked the pacman.log and I found the systemd-sysvcompat package was upgraded :

[2015-06-28 19:39] [ALPM] upgraded systemd-sysvcompat (221-1 -> 221-2)

Sorry but I mount the root and after that I can't find the usr folder in root .
I wanted to reinstall the package by chroot but it's can't find the usr/bin/bash
sbin and bin directory's was symlinked to usr folder but it's not exist

I'm not really following you here.

What is the output of:

ls -l /

Is it possible that your drive is failing?

What? Your forum account should have nothing to do with how you log in.

WorMzy · 2015-06-28 22:06:47

Indeed. Please don't create multiple accounts.

You are missing your /usr folder. This is a problem. You should check your filesystem's consistency with fsck (if applicable) and/or restore from your backups if necessary.
