kernel panic during installation

[Daniel Kessel]

During the installation using the ISO image, a kernel panic happened.

I could only capture a photo of the screen contents.

Note that the kernel panic happened without the "wl" kernel module. I only activated it so I could upload this report.

Daniel Kessel, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

Are you able to finish the installation, and reboot into a working OS?

[Daniel Kessel (dkessel)]

No. After rebooting, I got a GRUB error about a missing grub.cfg file

Daniel Kessel, would using one release back (Vivid) allow you a working environment via http://releases.ubuntu.com/vivid/ ?

[Adam Conrad (adconrad)]

Does this happen reproducibly? It looks like systemd is segfaulting.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Can you please boot without the "quiet", and add "debug" on the kernel command line? The CurrentDmesg attachment looks normal, so I figure this was from a clean boot. Right now we have zero information what goes wrong here, I'm afraid. Thanks!

Not seeing that here with the same image.

[Daniel Kessel (dkessel)]

Not reproducible anymore. Might have been a bad SD card.
