I was in the progress of upgrading my ubuntu system from 14.04 to 16.06 using the GUI software updater.My battery died and machine went off. When I tried to restart,I get this error below.
run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory
Target file system does not have requested /sbin/init
run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory
run-init: /etc/init: Permission denied
run-init: /bin/init: No such file or directory
/bin/sh O: Can'topen splash
[5.210492] Kernel panic, not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00007f00
kernel offset 0x0 from 0xffffffff8100000000
drm_kms_helper: panic occured, switching back to text console
At this point it stays in this black screen till I restart, and it happens like this again.
I searched on other forums and I was advised to download and run the bootinfoscript. I run it and had results in a text file but I am unable to attach it here (more than 30000 characters)
Kindly help me resolve this. I don't want to reinstall as I have too much to lose.
Thanks.
