Bug Description
On a slow (800 mhz) low-memory (384 meg) machine with a slow hard drive, the
Kubuntu 10.04 installation goes okay, but after installing system bug-fixes and security
upgrades, it fails to reboot, stopping, displaying:
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
It's looking at the initramfs file system when this occurs.
I tried installing Kubuntu 9.10 on the same machine, and got the same problem! I installed
Kubuntu 8.04 with no problem.

This means that on such machines, I cannot install anything newer than 8.04, and cannot ever upgrade to a more modern level.
I suspect it has something to do with the new GRUB boot-loader.
