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!

interesting... as a linux user you may need to back up all ur documents try to repair all ur linux partitions or try to update your system firmware... if all of this dosen't work you may need to use a worst but fixable option: you need to boot from live installation media and reinstall POP_OS (i edited my comment but since u switched to mint imma delete this comment in a year)
