  That's actually a message from the (Arch) initramfs[1], in case it can't mount the root filesystem or find an init to hand off to. The kernel has a different error message: "No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel."[2] 1: https://github.com/archlinux/mkinitcpio/blob/2dc9e12814aafcc86e3b6014d529b0f3f8fb3a85/init#L84 https://github.com/archlinux/mkinitcpio/blob/2dc9e12814aafcc... 2: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/d358e5254674b70f34c847715ca509e46eb81e6f/init/main.c#L1640 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/d358e5254674b70f34c84...
