Kernel panic on boot: run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory

I'm trying to reboot a system Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit. When I boot up, it gives me the message found below.

Kernel panic on boot: run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory.

How can I fix it and restore the original sbin/init?

Solution 1:

Follow these steps:

1. Boot your linux distribution on USB or CD

3. In command line type: sudo mount /dev/sda1 or your dist partition /mnt

4. Run command: sudo chroot /mnt

5. Then run: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf
