Was udev compiled running the kernel in question? (Most probably not |
9 |
needed, though) |
10 |
Is kernel-headers matching that kernel version? That would probably be |
11 |
an absolute requirement... It may be a lower version than the running |
12 |
kernel, but things will fail miserably if it's a higher version. |

Well, Googling for the email's subject as a phrase did reveal ... |
18 |
nothing. At least I could have translated the message if I was able to |
19 |
get there... |

That's because you're in the emergency console and there is no "init" |
30 |
running. In order to halt/restart you need to add the "-f" flag. Beware |
31 |
that you should unmount/remount r/o your partitions before resetting. |
32 |
I.e.: |
33 |
# umount /some/manually/mounted/partition |
34 |
# mount -o ro,remount /dev/device-in-use /mounted/partition/in/use |
35 |
# sync |
36 |
# reboot -f |
37 |
