(initramis)_ instead of booting

From Charles Breaux · May 29, 2022

Thanks for your suggestions Gene. With the entire screen shown I could see the writing at the top right corner, it began with “busybox” ect. And this text and prompt was beneath it (initramis)_

When I entered cat/partitions, or bilkid at the prompt I received the message that they were not found. When I entered fsck at the prompt, nothing happened, and the (initramis)_ reappeared.

Devi, anyone, please help, i don't want to have to go through a clean install and set everything up again.

I messed around with the advance options and these were the results:

Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan link list

dev/sda5: unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manually. (without -a or -p options)

failure: file system check of the root file system failed.

The root file system on/dev/sda5 requires a manual fsck

fsck from until-linux 2.34

Thanks

Charles

You’re welcome.

The only other suggestion I have is that when you get it fixed, back up your system so that if this happens again, you can restore.

This issue has exceeded my technical abilities with Linux. I hope some other person in the CLUG can help you.

Hi Charles. Have you considered booting off of a live image and working on the drive that way? This way you may be able to back up some of your data if you have an external hard drive you can connect, once you can get your drive fsck'd and mounted. You also would not need to work within BusyBox.

The only time I have seen this is when a hard drive physically began failing. That's not to say this is the case, just my experience with this.
