Can you comment on 1. What happens when this message appears (I presume the machine hangs because you have to turn it off)?
2. Please provide the 4-5 lines of text prior to this message for context. Also, if you have Google hits for this bug, it would be convenient to include them here (although the message is generic enough to be found just about anywhere). Thank you for for bug. -- boot process interrupted by "could not kill pid 1984" https://launchpad.net/bugs/81395 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
