I run two very similar virtual machines on a VMware ESX server, and only one of them is affected. The main difference is that the affected machine uses LVM.
I was able to make it boot using the --no-log kernel parameter. As a more permanent solution, I used the following line successfully: $ echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/flush-early-job-log.override Please let more know if you would like to learn more about my LVM2 setup. ** Attachment added: "output of /sbin/initctl show-config" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/935585/+attachment/2775381/+files/initctl_show-config -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/935585 Title: [kernel panic] init: log.c:786: Assertion failed in log_clear_unflushed: log->remote_closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/935585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
