[PLUG] boot failures

[Erik Lane]

I also received your message, and I've also seen very similar messages
on my computer about 'error probing smb2' but I have no ideas to help
you. (I'm running 10.04 Ubuntu.)

Mine generally runs fine, but about 1 in 10 boots I get a message
about init freaking out and I have to reboot. So far that's been the
extent of my problem. This is a Wubi install, because my wife refuses
to let me mess with her school work computer while she's still
finishing her thesis, for some strange reason..... :)
