Hi Frank, you try with this: 1. Boot archiso and chrooted in the system. 2. Mount your boot partition - In my case it is: mount /dev/sda1 /boot 3. Run mkinitcpio - In my case it is: mkinitcpio -p linux-lts Rado On 05/04/17 19:22, Frank wrote:

Good evening,

I'm having troubles booting my laptop. I do get the following error: Failed to execute /init (error -2) Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.

I've booted from archiso and chrooted in the system, tried to reinstall kernel, did an upgrade, made ne initrd and reinstalled grub without any success. THX Frank

When did that happen? After an update? If so I would tend to downgrade, e.g. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux-lts/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/ Did you try anything else? E.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162704 or any of the other [solved] threads https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Kernel+panic+-+not+syncing:+No+working+init+found.&* ?
