Booting error v1.18.5 for ubuntu 12.04?

Asked by sachin

Everything worked fine yesterday. The only changes I made was was that I downloaded Banshee to try as a replacement for Rhythmbox and did a few recommended updates. This morning I tried to boot and it took a long time and I finally got this error:

    mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/02bc41cc-1e21-4700-a179-be2805a658c4 on /root

    failed: Invalid argument

    mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory

    mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory

    mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory

    Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init.

    No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.

    BusyBox v1.18. (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5-1ubuntu4) built-in shell (ash)

    Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

Boot to liveCD and fsck the partition. You may also need this:

To instate Grub to the MBR again

Can you help with this problem?
