[Bug 1236642] Re: failed to execute /init

[cuby]

This is far from expired.
My desktop has an 3 disks. one is an SSD (for the / filesystem). I was unable to install Ubuntu 64 bits on it because of this problem. Tried 12.04 and 13.10 both as a CD install and USB. always the same message. It seems there is no /init script in the initramfs.

Grub 2 config seems ok. References are pointing to the right places and
the destination files seem to be there. There is no way to boot the
machine normally.

Tried Ubuntu 32Bits worked immediately.

Title:
  failed to execute /init

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 13.10 _x64bit by this method last night (10/6/2013)
  and ended up with a kernel panic with the message "failed to  execute
  /init"  and here is how I installed it:

  1)  Using 13.04 on another partition of the same hard drive, made using unetbootin a flash drive with the latest daily Ubuntu _x64 image on it.
  2)  Booted on the USB drive, selected to do an "other partitioning" scheme, and set / to 60 Gigs of the remaining free space, and swap to 4 GB.  Then went through the install with the download from the Internet selected.  When it was done and said it was ready to reboot, I tried, but got the error, which I was able to read using the boot into recovery mode option.

  I enclosed a photo of the kernel panic screen.
