It happened when I was restarting autofs after modifying the config files. The autofs hungup. So I pushed the reset. That is when it happened. I did try booting with the param "init=/bin/sh" nothing really changed. I did notice just before the message this message: pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed:2 I am hoping to not have to reinstall. But if I have to, can I just do the upgrade option so I don't lose the configuration (I don't want to reconfigure)?
