SARPI on Pi3 - Ran slackpkg update & slackpkg upgrade-all and now won't boot, can't find init
by petejc from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50ZKG)
Subject says it all. Usually run headless, but on connection a monitor the kernel panics failing to find init. Mounted partition on a x86_64 box and the file system mounts fine and init is in /sbin as usual.
What happened to cause the kernel panic has scrolled off the top of the screen but the last line of the message is 'end kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. ...'
I assume there is some issue with the boot process such that the root partition is not mounting.
Two question:
1. any easy fixes rather than starting over?
2. Was it my approach to updating that broke it?
I note that a post at https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...2/#post6036376
Suggests I update by downloading packages from the SARPI site, does that just do core stuff and should I blacklist anything for slackpkg?
