I'm facing a problem with all the kernels installed at my system (Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit).

Installed kernel versions: 2.6.32-21 up to 2.6.35.23.

The booting halted with the following error:

init: .: line 61: can't open '/scripts/functions'
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Pid: 1, comm: init not tainted

Only the first one (2.6.32-21) was working up until know.

I asked for help at ubuntuforums.org and i was told to check if there's any problem regarding my graphics card (ATI Radeon).

I uninstalled all the ATI-related packages as well as all the unecessary xserver-xorg-video-* drivers that were installed.

I then rebooted and from then on ALL of the kernels halt with the same error (i.e. it didn't fix the problematic kernels, it just broke the only one that was working...)

Any ideas on what i should try next?

Thanks in advance.

Pavlos.
