Public bug reported: After upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 in december 2009 my system rebooted with this error. I am still able to use the 2.6.28-17-generic kernel.
Recently I inserted the 9.10 amd64 livecd and attempted to boot and received the same error. The error message reads: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes". It occurs on boot extremely early in the boot process (approx 6 seconds in). This machine was previously running 9.04 without problems. It has been reported here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1364792 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423047 edit to add: Please note that the attached information & diagnostics pertain to the system as booting with the 2.6.28-17-generic kernel as I cannot boot 2.6.31.
