Bug Description

On a computer of mine, Ubuntu 13.04 was working fine the last time I booted a few days ago.
Now I turn on the computer, it shows the usual boot menu, I choose Ubuntu, it shows the Ubuntu splash screen, and then it show a black text screen which says:

BusyBox v1.20.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.20.0-0ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)_

where the "_" is the blinking cursor.

My ubuntu is dead!

Yeah, only that I don't have the most remote idea what package may be responsible of this bug.

By the way, Boot Repair fixed this, which doesn't make it any less of a huge critical bug.

Unfortunately Raring is no longer a supported release. However, it was when this bug was reported. Please change the status back to confirmed if you reproduce this with a supported release[0].
