Ubuntu boot error : no init found, Try passing init=bootarg

I got this error:

mount: mounting /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root on /root failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init= bootrag


I searched a lot on the web, and I finally found the solution :D

I just had to boot a live cd, load gparted  - partition editor ,  and use the "check" option on the partition labeled as "boot". That's all.
