Hi, I've been using an CentOS4.4 version. All was well till 2 days back. Suddenly when the PC was booted-up, it wouldn't bootup. It gets stuck displaying the following message.
exec of init (/sbin/init) failed !!!: 80 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I entered the rescue mode and attempted chroot /mnt/sysimage It spitted an error
"chroot : cannot execute /bin/sh: Accessing a corrupted shared library."
It look like some of your file are corrupted.
On a working machine :
# ldd /bin/sh linux-gate.so.1 => (0x002a4000) libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x00955000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0089c000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/nosegneg/libc.so.6 (0x00757000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00735000) [root@max udev]# rpm -qf /lib/libtermcap.so.2 /lib/libdl.so.2 /lib/i686/nosegneg/libc.so.6 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 libtermcap-2.0.8-46.1 glibc-2.5-18.el5_1.1 glibc-2.5-18.el5_1.1 glibc-2.5-18.el5_1.1
You shoud try to check these package :
# rpm -V --root /mnt/sysimage libtermcap glibc and be ready to resinstall them if required
# rpm -ivh --force --root /mnt/sysimage /yoursource/libtermcap-*.rpm /yoursource/glibc-*.rpm
Then you should be able to make your chroot
In anyway identify all your corrupted files using
# rpm -Va
And reinstall the corrupted packages
Regards
I tried to google-out the problem in vain
Any clues as to whats the problem and the remedy?
TIA, Balaji
