Try the steps listed in this page:
How to Fix an Ubuntu Error: "No init found. Try passing init= bootarg"

Basically,

  • Reboot with a live CD
  • sudo fdisk -l

will get you the name of the disk then

  • sudo fsck /dev/sda

Boot loader tries to boot from a partition which is not a correct linux root. Would you please provide more information?How did it happen?

If it happened after an unexpected shutdown (just a guess) maybe file system check can help you: http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p10.html#filesystem_check_on_an_ext3_filesystem
