I've been fighting with Mint for a while now. I installed mint21 and it
runs great for about 5 loads then stuff happens. First it would boot into
busybox. I tryed the fsck and that would work sometimes then the kernel
began to panic after a week. I would reinstall and the process (busy
box.... reinstall) would start over. This has been going on about two
weeks. The kernel paniced tonight (it skipped the busybox step) and I
finally looked at the output:
initramfs unpacking failed: ZSTD - compressed data is corrupt
Failed to execute /init (error - 2)
Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found.
Try passing init=option to kernel.
So I ask those who are much smarter than me (you) what all this means.
What init=option could I pass to the kernel? And what about the ZSTD.....
data?
What can I do?
You know, now that I think about it this problem coincides with the date of
the new release (or at least my update of the system after such). Things
that make you go hmmmmmmmm.....
That was a post onto Mint's support page. I haven't received any replies in
like 4 days. I am thinking it is time to try a different distro. I was
thinking about VOID. A couple of questions: what about my /home partition,
will it transfer seamlessly? Do you think void will fix the problem or else
what do you recommend?
