How to solve “Kernel panic – not syncing – Attempted to kill init” — without erasing any user data [closed]

if the full message is:

kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill inint !
PId: 1, comm: init not tainted 2.6.32.-279-5.2.e16.x86_64 #1

then you should have disabled selinux and after that you have rebooted the system.

The easier way is to use a live OS and re-enable it

vim /etc/selinux/config
    ...
    SELINUX=enforcing
    ...

Second choice is to disable selinux in the kernel arguments by adding selinux=0

vim /boot/grub/grub.conf
    ...
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-selinux-2003040709 ro root=/dev/hda1 nousb selinux=0
    ...
