Description Aere 2010-07-03 19:05:58 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

On a slow (800 mhz) low-memory (384 meg) machine with a slow hard drive, the installation goes okay, but after installing system bug-fixes and security upgrades, it fails to reboot, stopping, displaying:

No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.

It's looking at the initramfs file system when this occurs.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install kubuntu 10.04.
Reboot when done (works fine).
Install system updates.
Reboot when done.
It fails during the reboot.


Actual Results:  
It fails to reboot (after upgrades are installed), stopping after the initial screen (with the 4 dots) appears for awhile, displaying:

No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.

It's looking at the initramfs file system when this occurs.

Expected Results:  
The system should have rebooted successfully after installing updates.

The machine is a Gateway computer, 384 mB memory, 800 mhz speed.  I think the disk drive is slow (but maybe it's the slow processor).  
 
kubuntu 8.04 works fine on this machine

This is a bug tracking system for KDE, not for Kubuntu.
