Linux/Ubuntu noob here and my installation just choked with the /sbin/init
error.
This is similar to this previous issue: Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init
And this link describes the apparent solution.
I have a dual boot eepc 1001px, my partitions are a little different, fdisk -l
gives me:
/dev/sda1 * ID=7 HPFS/NFFS
/dev/sda2 ID=lb Hidden w95 FAT32
/dev/sda3 ID=5 Extended
/dev/sda4 ID=ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
/dev/sda5 ID=83 Linux
I'm using a bootable usb key with the netbook 10.10 version installed so I can get into Ubuntu that way for diagnostics.
I tried the sudo fsck /dev/sda5
as mentioned in the second link to attempt a repair however I get the following error:
fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda5
Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
And I've no idea what to do next :(
