## The problem
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, your linux machine can get stuck while booting and drop you into an initramfs shell.
|
|
|
|
## The solution
|
|
|
|
All initramfs are potentially different, but almost always feature busybox and common mechanisms. Recently I had to finish booting from an initramfs shell, here is how I used `switch_root` to do so :
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
lvm vgscan
|
|
lvm vgchange -ay vg
|
|
mount -t ext4 /dev/mapper/vg-root /root
|
|
exec switch_root -c /dev/console /root /sbin/init
|
|
```
