I have been running 9.04 (32 bit) on my desktop AMD Athlon 64 X2 for some weeks without problems. Yesterday I accepted upgrades which included 2.6.28-14 kernel.
I had kernel panics afterwards and on one attempt with GRUB menu I managed to reboot via recovery mode. After I thought I was back in business I had rebooted, and no measure has been successful to reboot - alway locking up.
Then I tested my RAM (it was OK).
Then I disconnected my SATA drives (2 of them) so I had no HD, and loaded the Live CD (which I had previously used before installing to the HD)
With no HD and just the Live CD, I get:
Kernel panic - not synching: Attempted to kill init!
Thinking there may be another lurking hardware problem, I went into the BIOS and disabled most of the mb items such as SATA controller, usb, ports I do not use, etc.
Same result on Live CD boot.
Any ideas?
