[Bug 542407] [NEW] Kernel panic on boot

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: upstart

The past few times I have updated Upstart through Ubuntu (both karmic
and Lucid versions), my system refuses to load after reboot. My system
gets to the Grub Splash screen and then hangs, with the CAPS lock
blinking. Solution: boot LiveCD (I use the Karmic CD) and replace local
/sbin/init with init from the LiveCD. This corrects issues and boot is
restored.

I am not sure what details I can provide which may be helpful, since the
init seems to be what is failing, so i doubt any logs are being written
during unsuccessful boots. I wanted to post this bug partially as a
guide to other users with the same issue after updating, in order to get
them back up and running.

Thank you,
Dave
