last night it crashed, will not boot.

(busybox v 1.18.5
(initramFS)
/init line 352: can't open /root/device/con: no such file
kernel panic - not syncing!
Attemted to kill init
panic ocurred, switching back to text console.

many other errors. I can boot using the install disk but I do not want to reformat unless i have no choice. Any help would be appreciated.

If Me. I would do a file system check on the / partition using gparted during a live cd session in case the files are corrupted from improper shutdown.

Gparted is a GUI way to just right click on a file partition. If it says unmount. Unmount it first. Then right click again and pick check.

Anyways. That would be my 1st step.

It worked, Thank you very much.
