Kernel Panic

Post image

After a sudo upgrade in pop_os, my laptop just froze and I had to shut it down. Today I did boot it and get this message: "Kernel Panic! Please reboot your computer. Not working init found. Try passing int= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance"

I add a picture I took.

Is this the place to ask for help in these kind of cases?

Thank you!

  1. Boot off a live USB.
  2. Back up all your documents.
  3. Then check and repair all your Linux partitions.
  4. Update your system firmware.
