RAM is OK, the problem seems to be specific to the external disk used  
for Mythbuntu.

The relevant message is:

Failed to execute /init
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found

I've noticed that a similar problem was reported e.g. 9 days ago

http://askubuntu.com/questions/445958/unable-to-boot-ubuntu-12-04-after-new-installation

and using Boot-Repair was recommended.

I have done it but I was surprised by the question:

FlexNet detected. Please backup your data before this operation. Do  
you want to continue?

and I answered "No". Should I say "Yes"? I have no idea why I have  
FlexNet on this computer. Originally it came with Vista which I  
downgraded to XP - can this be the reason?

The output of Boot-Repair is available at

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7284541/

Mythbuntu is on sdc2 (other systems on sdc have been installed when  
the disk was in a different computer, so the boot configuration is  
probably not valid).

I will appreciate your help.

Best regards

Janusz
