When I try to run parrot os on my raspberry pi I get a boot error saying ---[end kernel panic - not syncing : No working unit found. Try passing in init= option to kernel. Sell Linux documentation/init.txt for guidance
The sd card I have installed parrot os on is brand new, I am also a noob and may be doing something stupid.
The raspberry pi boots fine with my other micro sd card running noobs.
My /boot/cmdline.txt refers to root=/dev/mmcblk0p2.
This is a known bug with the current release (3.8) of parrot OS. The second, ext4 partition is completely empty, hence the init not being found. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but until then this thread should help.
