maybe, I usually just boot to a rescue cd or usb mount the root 
partition and go to work at it.
When I break things or have boot failures I don't know what is wrong 
until I look.  Some times if you are using jfs on root all that is 
needed is an fsck but it won't boot because something is buggered so 
init=/bin/bash doesn't work, so I just get the usb drive and plug and play.

I do this so I can invoke the maximum damage to the system under abuse :)
