Actual exam question for LPI's 201-450 exam

Question #: 90
Topic #: 1

In case the file containing the Linux kernel is lost, what happens when the system is booting?

AThe system starts normally since the bootloader copies the kernel to the master boot record of the hard disk.

BInstead of the kernel, the initramfs is loaded and instructed to mount the root filesystem and reinstall the kernel from the original package or from source.

CThe bootloader mounts the root filesystem read-only and launches /bin/sh directly in order to allow the administrator to reinstall the kernel.

DWithout a kernel a system cannot boot and, depending on the bootloader, an error is displayed.

I agree with Carolann, because without the kernel, the system cannot boot and initramfs is used to load the root filesystem.

I believe the correct answer is B) Instead of the kernel, the initramfs is loaded and instructed to mount the root filesystem and reinstall the kernel.

I think if the Linux kernel file is lost, the system won't boot properly.
