Error Kernel Panic “switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory” in CentOS

After an unexpected shutdown of the virtual machine with centos on Hyper-V can not boot the system with the error “switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory”. In this case, the driver is not loaded correctly VHDs CetnOS in Hyper-V:

switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic – not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

The first thing to do – download and insert cd / dvd-rom image of CentOS, which establishes the system.
Boot the system and after a welcome window write in the command line:
linux rescue

Further, since all manipulations write:
chroot / mnt / sysimage

Enjoying the exact version of the kernel:
cat /etc/grub.conf

Replace “VERSION” on your boot kernel version, which we found in the previous step:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-VERSION.el5.img VERSION.el5 –preload hv_storvsc –preload hv_vmbus –preload hv_utils -f

example:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-348.1.1.el5.img 2.6.18-348.1.1.el5 –preload hv_storvsc –preload hv_vmbus –preload hv_utils -f

Exit and reboot:
exit
reboot
