Performing the same test as above (removal of initrd.img and modification of GRUB's menu.lst) using 2.6.32-14-generic further confirms that the issue is with something that gets included in the initramfs image.
The relevant GRUB menu excerpt: title Ubuntu lucid (development branch), kernel 2.6.32-14-generic kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-14-generic rootfstype=ext4 root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=795 quiet splash quiet -- [Geode LX] [OLPC] 2.6.31-generic: kernel panic near the end of initramfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396286 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
