Hi, I am running RH 7.1. I could not boot my Linux system yesterday. The following lines are the boot error messages: Warning: unable to open an initial console Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. I have tried the following things: (1) Boot the system with the book disk. (2) Boot the system as a single user. boot:linux single (3) Boot the system with the installation disk Boot:linux rescue I got s shell prompt and my root partition is /dev/hda2. I invoked the following commands: sh-2.04#umount /dev/hda2 sh-2.04#fsck /dev/hda2 sh-2.04#exit I got a warning during fsck. WARNING: counldn't open /etc/fstab. No such file or directory. (4) Upgrade to RH7.2. The following is the error message: One of more of the filesystems listed in the /etc/fstab of your Linux system are inconsistent and can not be moved. Please fix the partition and try to upgrade again. None of the above works. I will appreciate if someone can help me. Thanks.
