Title:
  fails to boot with "Attempted to kill init" in VMWare, absolute
  /sbin/init symlink does not work

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  My Ubuntu 15.04 VM (running under VMware) doesn't boot anymore after permanently switching to systemd.
  I've switched to systemd with "apt install systemd-sysv --purge" (it only purged the upstart package) and with the default "Ubuntu" entry the boot fails after about 2.5 sec with a kernel panic ("Attempted to kill init"). But it works when edit the grub entry (in the grub shell) and add "init=/lib/systemd/systemd".

  Attached is the serial output (with "debug" but no "init=" parameter).
