Blue Screen 0x0000006B - PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

original title: BSOD 0x0000006B - Work-around does NOT resolve issue - Win7 Pro x86

Running Windows 7 Pro x86 on an Asus EeePC 1000HE.  I haven't had a blue screen in three months.  Shocking.  Now, when booting (normally, safe mode, whatever) after the loading screen, before the user password screen, a blue screen appears.

PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

STOP: 0x0000006B (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I have checked the numbers many times and have pictures of the screen to verify (taken from my phone).  I tried the work-around as described in KB981833 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981833). I used an Ubuntu 8 LiveCD to navigate to /Windows/System32/CodeIntegrity/ and deleted the Bootcat.cache file.  After several reboots, the blue screen still persists with the same error codes and the Bootcat.cache files has not reappeared.  I can confirm that it is not a hardware problem because the other OSs (Mac OSX 10.6.1. Eeebuntu) still boot and operate normally off the same hard drive.  This is just a Windows problem.  (Suprise, suprise)

Also, the startup repair on the Windows 7 install disc found nothing and did nothing.

    **PROBLEMA:**El archivo bootcat.cache esta inconsistente.

    SOLUCION:

    1. Reemplace este archivo de otro equipo con caracteristicas similares: marca, procesador.

    %SystemRoot%\system32\codeintegrity\bootcat.cache2. Si el cambio anterior no funciona, debe recrear este archivo y esto lo puede hacer utilizando el siguiente fix de mcafee:

    If I have Win 7 Home Premium (64bit), can I still copy bootcat.cache file from a PC with Win 7 Ultimate (64bit)?

    Hi,

    If coping Bootcat.cache from another computer will work so would just deleting the existing

    version (boot from a boot disk) and then reboot as normal.

    See workaround here :

    "Stop error code 0x0000006B PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" error message during startup

    on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

    Like the author, I had tried that first but it made no difference.  The only way to fix it was to copy from another computer.
