After losing power, my machine rebooted to this error:
“error: no init found. Try passing init=bootarg”
Per similar threads on this site and others, I've tried booting from a CD and selecting "Try Ubuntu". Then open a terminal and typing:
sudo fsck-y /dev/sda1.
The response is:
Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1. Filesystem
mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
This is on Ubuntu 10.10.
Any ideas on what I can try next?
Best Answer
Disk Utility from Live CD
*Note - steps 4. & 5. are only for if the first Mount Volume attempt fails.
