kernel panic, lost init after update
by Texcon from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J6TZ)
Greetings to all-
I have been on Zorin since I don't know, 12 or 13 or whatever, never a problem until 15 kept dropping internet connections, so then I upgraded to 17. Not really a coder or any kind of expert. Last week I loaded an update, then 3 days later restarted for the first time since the update, and the OS would not load. I got a fail message that was kernel panic cannot find the init. So I googled and browsed, found a couple of lines of code to put in the terminal to roll back update, ran it, no luck. I am running now off the 6.2 version that was the second one down in the advanced tab that has the recovery mode options. I t works fine, just wondering how to fix my boot up.I tried going into GRUB and changing the line from "quiet splash" to init=/init, and no luck. Just wondering if anyone else had trouble with that last update, and of course, if anyone has a fix? Saw some threads from '04, figure that's probly obsolete.
