I have a major issue, I DO NOT have a CD to start off and this happened when my PC turned on.

No init found. Try passing  init= bootarg.
Busybox v1.21.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.21.0-iubuntu) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands
(initramfs)
(initramfs)
Built-in commands:
. : [ alias break cd chdir command continue echo eval exec exit export false getopts hash help let local orinit pwd read readonly unset wait [ [[ ash awk basename blockdev  cat chmod chroot chvf egrep env expr false fbset fdflush fgrep find grep gunzip gzip hostname iconfig............etc

(initramfs) ubuntu
/bin/sh: ubuntu: not  found
(initramfs)

And I believe this came up when I pressed 'help'.

  • What were you fiddling with before this accident ? – George Udosen Apr 05 '17 at 05:22
  • Nothing, I had 4 browsers open and had to many tabs open and the pc got slow so I just pressed the power supply button and the PC shut off very fast, that is it – steveman Apr 05 '17 at 06:03

  • Ya but I need to know what to do – steveman Apr 05 '17 at 06:32
  • Please follow those steps in the link provided. Just boot into initramfs (as you computer will do so until error is corrected) then follow what was done on that link post. Follow the post by ramsudharsan. – George Udosen Apr 05 '17 at 06:58
  • I do not have a live CD for it as the solution for his asks and my code error is also not the same, and for a USB( I guess any USB as it says, nothing happens when I put one in) I just need to know what codes to press and what commands to issue on the screen – steveman Apr 05 '17 at 07:25
  • You are not paying attention, look at one of the answers you don't need a live cd. And your problem is the same. I said you look at ramsudharsan's answer... – George Udosen Apr 05 '17 at 08:33
  • So basically go and enter command "exit", is that the one your talking about? – steveman Apr 05 '17 at 11:55
  • Yes its start with exit then fsck etc... – George Udosen Apr 05 '17 at 12:14
  • They didn't work. Maybe because similar looking but different corruption.When I pressed "EXIT" it just took me to a bunch of traces logs and at the bottom said end trace with a bunch of letter/number mix. And from there the keyboard is unresponsive and have to press the power button to start over. – steveman Apr 12 '17 at 08:41
  • Ideas? And same when you press help then exit, a little bit different layout but second half page trace logs and last trace log says kernel offset followed by a few intervals of code which I can decipher none of and after the bracket that says relocation range????? – steveman Apr 12 '17 at 08:45
