On rebooting this server, I get Inconsistency detected by ld.so:../sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h:385:_dl_relocate_object:Assertion '((reloc->r_info) & 0ff)=8' failed. Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init.
Yeah, init cannot start. Maybe some of the dependencies (libraries) are missing or corrupt.
Any suggestions ? (for a novice)
Looks like some libraries are missing (happened me a couple of times with a missing libc, but not with the same message).
Try to boot the server using some live-cd distro and try to remount/chroot and make a deep check (my suggestion, check for installed/uninstalled packages, rootkits and such).
--jci
Yeah, I had the same kind of error with libc, init uses that library.
Try to restore the library from your backups (?) or with your package manager.
