I also have this problem with a karmic 32bit guest in KVM. It correctly boots once every 10-20 boot-ups, sounds like something isn't waiting long enough for something else to come available, leaving it working over to 'luck'.
currently running: 2.6.31-18-generic-pae #55-Ubuntu as installed by linux-image-virtual (yes, its a virtual machine) The root filesystem is placed on an encrypted lvm volume inside the kvm, the host does not have an encrypted fs. The init exec error appears after i've unlocked the lvm with my password. Now installing the non PAE kernel (strange that the linux-image-virtual installs a kernel with the postfix -pae from a package ending with -virtual, this will cause conflicts and dpkg errors at install time of the -pae package, been there) Rebooting Helas, still barfing the error (see screendump) ** Attachment added: "CRASH_linux-image-2.6.31-18-generic.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37965988/CRASH_linux-image-2.6.31-18-generic.png -- Fresh Install of Karmic, Boot ends with Kernel Panic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
