I'm trying to boot into the shell of a XenServer 5.6 (I believe CentOS 5.5 underneath). I added init=/bin/sh to the boot line, but I'm still getting an error. Here is the boot line:

mboot.c32 /boot/xen.gz com2=57600,8n1 console=com2,vga dom0_mem=752M lowmem_em ergency_pool=1M crashkernel=64M@32M --- /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen root=LABEL=root-ju aihdrs ro console=tty0 xencons=hvc console=hvc0 init=/bin/sh --- /boot/initrd-2. 6-xen.img

And here's how it breaks:

Waiting for driver initialization. Scanning and configuring dmraid supported devices Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds Setting up other filesystems. Setting up new root fs EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys /bin/bash: : No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

*bang* I *just* fought with that yesterday. It's a grub thing - the entry for what it's booting needs a line reading root (hd0,0) or whatever is appropriate. Note that if there's one bootable drive/partition, it will define that as hd0.
