Seems to be some problem with init or mountall.

I would suggest to boot an Ubuntu Live CD/USB and run and post the output of bootinfoscript as per instructions here.

http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net

It would tell us more about your setup, partititons, fstab, grub etc and lets see if we can find anything offensive there.
