Ok. Rewiring to have the secondary disk only I was able to boot of secondary and that worked.
Rewired back to 2 disks, primary as primary in the wiring. In grub booted into recovery mode. Used the dpkg option to get updated and remount as rw. Got into root shell from grub extended manu and did apt-get remove 'nvidia*' The quotes being essential. Should probably have done purge, but..did not. That removed the nvidia and did some kernel stuff. exited shell and (as the on screen note warned) only got back to a root shell. Shutdown. Then rebooted and the system restarts normally! Yay! The question, of course, is when I reinstall nvidia what will happen? But at least the sytem boots and lightdm runs now, normally. And I know how to get back to this state. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1492617 Title: Kernel Oops during boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: System crash during boot. First encountered when booting 3.13.0-63-generic #103-Ubuntu on restart after upgrade from 3.13.0-62. that crashes the same way during boot. I tried using grub and booted into 3.13.0-62 but that behaved the same. The data that should be here System remounts disk readonly and boots. I can ssh in to the system (but being read only cannot change anything). Ran memory test overnight (about 1.5 complete cycles of the test) and no errors.

Using nVidia drivers because using OpenCL for boinc Seti@home and Einstein@home. I removed one GPU (as a test) and reboot encountered the same problem. Suggestions as to how to figure out what is wrong would be most welcome.
