[Bug 1236642] Re: failed to execute /init

[Rob Frohne]

I decided to try installing 13.04, 64 bit, to see what would happen and
the results are identical.  So this is not an OS issue, or it is there
in 13.04 as well.

Title:
  failed to execute /init

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
