  • How to recover from a Kernel Panic -not syncing

    Posted on

    Just got a" Kernel Panic -not syncing : attempted to kill init" error after I switch my selinux in enforcing mode and rebooted.
    ~~~
    Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
    Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64 #1

    I have -573.22.1
    -573.3.1
    -573.1.1
    -504.30.3
    I tried to boot back with other old versions, but none of worked and all have "Kernel Panic", so I could not to run the sosreport from old version either. How can I recover from this?
