Public bug reported:
I had a Trusty 14.04 LTS system and used update-manager -d to trigger
the release upgrade to Xenial. Everything went fine, but when I
rebooted into the kernel 4.4.0-22-generic I was greeted with a
stacktrace and an error about not being able to execute /sbin/init on
the initrd.
I booted into the old kernel and extracted and compared the initrd's and
everything important was the same. I then booted with boot_delay=250
and after a long wait was able to see "request_module: runaway loop
modprobe binfmt-464c" messages indicating wrong binary format. Then I
looked at the kernel config and noticed that CONFIG_X86_64 was not
defined on the upgrade kernel; afterwards, I saw that linux-image-
generic:i386 and friends were installed.
After replacing linux-image-generic:i386 and friends with the amd64
variants, all was fine.
Please ensure that if linux-image-generic is installed or replaced, its
arch matches the arch of /sbin/init or systemd perhaps?
