Public bug reported: My Ubuntu 15.04 VM (running under VMware) doesn't boot anymore after permanently switching to systemd. I've switched to systemd with "apt install systemd-sysv --purge" (it only purged the upstart package) and with the default "Ubuntu" entry the boot fails after about 2.5 sec with a kernel panic ("Attempted to kill init"). But it works when edit the grub entry (in the grub shell) and add "init=/lib/systemd/systemd".
Attached is the serial output (with "debug" but no "init=" parameter). ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "SerialOutput.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1421117/+attachment/4317802/+files/SerialOutput.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1421117 Title: Ubuntu 15.04 VM doesn't boot after switching permanently to systemd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1421117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
