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

For me, I just created ran the Ubuntu Boot Repair disk and it fixed everything!

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:
