Virtualman 5.1 128gb image wont boot on pi 3 B or B+ error script on boot
-
Hi after writing a image file to a Samsung 128GB Micro SD card using Win32diskimager called ( 128GB V5.1 GOLD Pi 3 B+ Build from Virtualman), when booting up for the first time it runs some script but stops at a message and doesn't continue. Tried this both on a pi 3 B and B+. I've put the last message below. Not sure what its telling me to do or why its preventing the image to boot? Thanks
[16.329378] ---[end Kernal panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. see Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.
Ive also uploaded a picture of the script screen if it helps.

Don't use pre-made images, they're terrible. Plus you won't get any support here or anywhere.
Since I like to help anyway, I'll give you a hint: the most likely issue is that the init file is missing, the image is corrupted and you can't do much unless you reinstall over (and completely mess the messed up setup).
Another possibility is that there's an easier fix by running e2fsck on Putty but I hightly recommend to give up and build your own fruity cake :)
