I'm getting this error on a fresh Ubuntu Server 10.04 install on a Pentium III 733MHz, SOYO 7BVA, 384Mb RAM, 4Gb hard disk. The system was fully operational with CentOS 5.2
I'm unable to do a normal boot, instead I have to use the "rw init=/bin/bash" kernel parameters at the Grub prompt.
I booted that way and made aptitude update && aptitude upgrade to get latest 2.6.32-23 kernel, but when I reboot, I still get the same problem.
I tried with this mainline kernel as suggested, but still the same problem.
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.16-lucid/
Here is what I get from console, using the --verbose kernel option at the Grub prompt:

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
