[Bug 1236642] Re: failed to execute /init

[aleandro]

Same bug after some updates in ubuntu 13.10. I had to reistall after
having tried all methods of all gurus around.  Reinstall over same OS
failed with same error. No idea why. It seems that someone in the web
solved this error putting back the link in the /lib/lib64 folder.

ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.17.so ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

This seems a common problem in  ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10. Everything is
intact in the filesystem with exception of that small file.

I would reopen this thread due to the frequency of this bug.  Looking
around in the web many users had this problem after regular updates of
the OS.

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.
