Comment 33 for bug 32123

Bug 223066 (which I just filed a few days ago) may be a duplicate of this issue.

I saw the exact same behavior when upgrading from Fiesty to Gutsy. I continued running with the fiesty kernel (2.6.20.15 I believe is the only one that continues to boot), and I am still doing so even after upgrading to Hardy last week. I have uninstalled/reinstalled both the generic and 386 kernels and done half a dozen initrd recreations and so far nothing has done any good. I get dropped to a busybox, every single time.

Given the activity on this Bug (plus the 10+ duplicates of it, not to mention the countless forum posts/mailing lists inquiries for the same issue) can we at the very least bump this to critical, and possibly get someone actually ASSIGNED to it?
