I am having this problem intermittently. I have Ubuntu 10.10 on an Asus EEE PC 1005 HA (Hard drive), 1 Mb of RAM, dual booting with Windows XP. This has been updated from Ubuntu 10.04 (which was all OK) just a week ago, so this might possibly related to the upgrade (?).
Additional info: this error on cold boot happened after having had an X crash also during bootup, where the screen became blank after showing the plymouth splash for only one second, then some lines with errors for a fraction of a second, then frozen. Needed to use power button. Then after a couple of times same failure, the kernel panic error: run-init: nuking initramfs contents: Directory not empty [ 2.768910] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! udevd-work[100]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/sda7, 10) failed: No such file or directory. There are other people affected recently - see the duplicates of this bug.
