Woke up an hour ago and tried to boot up bishop, my X60s running Ubuntu and was presented with this message:
Target filesystem doesn’t have sbin/init
BusyBox v.1.1.3
/bin/sh: can’t access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs)
According to the threads I’ve turned up thus far, there’s no obvious cause for this issue, which is bad enough. Worse, there doesn’t appear to be a simple, easy fix. So at the moment, I’ve got one machine burning me a new copy of Knoppix so that I can get in and see what’s going on, and I’m contemplating the application of an emergency instance of Ubuntu on top of the new workstation so that I have a potential target for my most recent desktop backup (which is less than a week old).
Not really how I wanted to start my Friday.
