[Techtalk] what the heck does this mean!!

[Tracey Hytry]

I run fedora and  this happens quite often when shifting disks around.  Most of the time it's recoverable, but not a lot of fun fixing.

I start by doing what Akkana suggested and if that doesn't work I make a new initrd for the kernel.  This usually always works.

Also, it's my understanding is that both fedora and ubuntu use a newer init. Be sure you're familiar with it.

Good luck!
