I have dual boot system with Windows and Ubuntu.
- Distributor ID: Ubuntu
- Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
- Release: 18.04
- Codename: bionic
All of a sudden my ubuntu terminal crashed and won't start, so I did a system reboot. But now on system reboot I am getting end kernel panic- not syncing:attempted to kill init! exit code=0x00000100.
Please help how can I start my system without losing any data.

Admin almost 2 yearsYeah, @gman is on the spot here. If the exact panic messages is: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100 And the call trace contains: entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+... Then the issue is that root file system is missing one or more of mount points:
sys
proc
dev
run
tmp
. If the symptoms are not EXACTLY the same as described, then go with what @heynnema wrote, as his answer allows to diagnose further a similar issue - as the cause can be ininitrd
, or inrootfs
, or a hardware problem on the motherboard.

kanehekili almost 4 yearsSo what is the answer? Can you tell the OP how to fix it? This is just a "Yeah, I've got that problem too " comment.
