Kernel Panic - 2.6.27.1 -> 2.6.27.4

Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

Hello.
Yeah, known problem
So I tried mkinitcpio with diffrent configurations and nothing, reinstalled sysvinit, nothing. I tried to downgrade kernel back to 2.6.27.1 and still this error.
Someone can help ? Any ideas ? 3rd day without arch is terrible !

I don't know if you tried this yet, but you may want to take a look at this:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56971

Especially this part:

Try chrooting into your system and then regenerating kernel images with "mkinitcpio -p kernel26".  Sometimes this helps...

I was having te same problem and it helped.

Re: Kernel Panic - 2.6.27.1 -> 2.6.27.4

I had the same problem after pacman -Syu. Reinstalling the kernel fixed the problem for me.

Just chroot your system as described here -> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_Panics

After that : pacman -Sy kernel26

Hope this will help.

Re: Kernel Panic - 2.6.27.1 -> 2.6.27.4

I have the same exact problem. I tried a number of things:
reboot into live, mount /boot/ and /home chroot int /mnt and I tried these each times;

/etc/rc.d/network start
pacman -Sy kernel26

mkinitcpio -p kernel26

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.27.5-1

Problem started today after uninstalling kdemod and then doing pacman -Syu  ...

error on boot is
Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel

not sure if this is related but after uninstalling kdemod i installed normal kde-base, and went to startkde and got the error

$display is not set or cannot connect to the x server

so i tried unistalling kde, installed xfce4 and then modified the .xinit to have exec startxfce4; startx and then fatal x server no screens found. i re-checked my XF86Config for anything unusual but it was the same as before, i have all the stuff in there that worked before and had not changed anything. then i reboot; and i get the fucking kernel panic that won't fix. if no one here knows wtf is the problem is to fix it and how; im going to be changing another one of my computers to windows xp.
