apport bug report info

I have Ubuntu Server 14.04 64bit installed on a Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190.

The last kernel I could successfully boot was this one:
  linux-image-3.13.0-74-generic 3.13.0-74.118

However, with sudo apt-get upgrade, the following kernels have been released (and I've installed them) but they will NOT boot:
1) linux-image-3.13.0-76-generic 3.13.0-76.120
2) linux-image-3.13.0-77-generic 3.13.0-77.121

Unfortunately, in order to generate this bug report, I had to boot from an earlier kernel, so the kernel actually specified in the generated-bug-report is the one that actually works; I couldn't figure out how to generate the bug using one of the bad kernels enumerated above.

An auto-generated bug-report, using the command
ubuntu-bug linux

Currently the system is booting about once every 4 tries. Boot failures provide:

"Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempt to kill init! exitcode=0x00000009"
