It says "exec of init failed", which is the executable program Linux runs on boot after it has mounted the disk, so it appears to be finding a volume, but not finding /sbin/init inside it. This suggests to me that either
a) It is attempting to boot from the wrong volume
or
b) Some sort of disk corruption has removed /sbin/init from the correct voluem.
(a) might mean the correct volume is unavailable -- causing it to go to the next one. Or that the order of the volumes has changed, due to something being detected earlier than it was before. Have you made any disk changes to this server recently?
I would suspect (b) would warn you that the disk was not properly unmounted, but won't rule it out either.
Either way, I think you'll need a rescue CD to solve this, something to boot into and examine your disks. (not alter, unless you're VERY sure of yourself. It'd be very easy to dig in deeper at this point.)

ticker
NAME(1) General Commands Manual NAME(1)
NAME
ticker - scroll messages across the screen
SYNOPSIS
ticker [options] [message]
DESCRIPTION
ticker is a program that continually scrolls a given message across the screen. There is also an interface to allow other programs to
change the message.
KEYS
+, [up arrow]
Increase scroll speed.
-, [down arrw]
Decrease scroll speed.
[space]
Pause. Press any key to unpause.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-u, --upper
Scroll text on the top line of the screen. (Default)
-l, --lower
Scroll text on the bottom line of the screen.
-fcolor, --foreground=color
Use the specified color as the forground color of the text that is scrolled. The colors that may be used are:
black gray
red brightred
green brightgreen
brown yellow
blue brightblue
magenta brightmagenta
cyan brightcyan
lightgray white
-bcolor, --background=color
Use the specified color as the background color of the text that is scrolled. On most terminals, the background color can only be
one of the colors listed in the first column above.
-dsecs, --delay=secs
Number of seconds delay between updates of the display. This controls how fast the text scrolls. You may use decimals to specify
faster scroll speeds. The default delay is 1 second; I find 0.1 more pleasing.
-snum, --sysv=num
Read messages to display from the sysv shared memory segment with an id of num. This is only for use by other programs that need to
be able to change the text ticker displays.
-Snum, --size=num
Size of the shared memory segment to read, when using shared memory communication with another program. Default is 80 characters.
-csecs, --check=secs
Minimum time between checks of the shared memory segment for a new message. Default is every second. It may in fact check consider-
ably less often, as it only checks for a new message once per time that the current message scrolls around the screen.
message
The message to scroll. Required unless -s is used, in which case it is optional.
NOTES
To use the other 23 or so lines of your screen for something useful while the ticker is running, you might want to use splitvt(1)
