One of my machine broke downn during the process of updating (with yum), I had to reboot and during the booting up in level 3 a message displayed;
exec of init (/sbin/init) failed !!!: 2
umount /initrd/dev  failed: 2
kernel panic - not syncing. Attempted to kill init!
And the machine just freezes right there! I powered it down and start it again, same thing happened - FC3 is completely down. Any solution? Tks
Have you tried booting from a rescue CD or the installation CD1 and examining your init files?

I haven't done that yet, can you be more specific and tell me what step and how to do that - I am inexperient in that at all, I know how to use the rescue CD to boot up, but what to do next?
