Comment 11 for bug 659422

Hello,

we had the same problem in our company and I found a workaround for this.
In ESXi 4.1 vSphere Client choose the VM Ware-Machine which starts with the "segmentation fault"
and go to the machine settings.
There you have to change the "host operating system" from "Ubuntu 32 bit" to "Another"
"Version 32 Bit".
VMI must also be deactivated.

After that run your Machine and start with the dist-upgrade.
Following the finished update reboot your system and it should work now.
