** Description changed:
I am NOT a developer so don't expect any technical stuff from me.
Ubuntu 10.4 64bit drops to a BusyBox v1.13.3 / Initramfs Shell - won't
boot up AT ALL. I downloaded Ubuntu 10.4 via the Wubi installer
SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES. Each time I've
I believe I have the same problem. I have tried to install ubuntu 10.04
and 10.10 32 and 64 via Wubi and I always get the following errors and
then drop onto BusyBox:
Cannot mount /dev/sda on /tmpmountpoint.
It's a Asus EeePC 1201N (Atom 330, nVidia ION), I tried installing wubi
on both windows
There've been a number cases of this particular error. There may be
different causes but the ones I have seen are not wubi-specific:
sometimes when the kernel is updated the initial ram disk is not
generated correctly. You can tell If this is the problem by booting a
previous kernel - if it works
I decided to use wubi and use Ubuntu 10.10 with Win 7 and It's been
problem after problem. I've reinstalled at least 5 times and I keep
getting the same problem. I've looked at some other blogs saying that a
partition and CD install will work but after everything that I've read
IDK anymore.

Hi everybody, I am having the same problem and I really don't want to loose all
my data.
I have been using ubuntu for more than a year and I haven't have this error
before.
FERNANDO LOZANO could you please tell me where to check install option?
and how to use the manual partition you mention.
Thank you very much for your help and kind words.

10.10 is not any better with Windows 7 as near as I can tell. I think
installing on a partition would be much easier

cross platform read and write between hard drive. There seems to be
always way more trouble with linux being compatible with NTFS than
Windows reading
I just gave up and switched back to my Mac Win7 PC.

Hey All,
I have been dealing with this problem for a couple of weeks now. When

issue it is a nightmare.
It seems the main trend is if there is a hard shutdown the box always enters

hahaha now this one is unbelievable
open your grub.cfg with some editor
and on your linux /boot/blablabla line remove quiet splash from the end
of the line.
It works for me...maybe it will work for u too

Hi, I have the same problem too, and I DID NOT use Wubi or anything
else, I've just installed some updates for my Kubuntu 10.04 (including
some kernel updates) and after shutdown I was unable to boot again due
to this error. I didn't get any info about the bug at all.
I'm really disappointed

dropping to busybox shell happened after I opted for the upgrade to 10.4
FROM IN 9.10.
I was using 9.10 and the Update Mgr. notified me that 10.4 was out and
I really don't care to participate anymore. Windows 7 Mac 10.6 meet
all my needs. I may try Fedora later on. I may just wait till 10.10
comes out. Maybe at least at time, 10.4 will be usable. I am TOTALLY
disgusted w/Ubuntu after using it for a good number of years. Something

I have to say that i am having the same problem described above but i

Thanks Larry! For some reason, it seems that Ubuntu installed over
Windows is not able to boot if the disk is dirty, meaning that the
shutdown was done improperly. It is possible to fix that by logging into
Windows and running chkdsk /r. I don't have a Windows system to test
that, so I will mark
Also, I've noticed a few other people are having the same problems. I
googled the error msg. and got a few hits on the web showing I am not
alone.
Also, I downloaded 10.4 Kubuntu AND DID NOT HAVE ANY SUCH PROBLEMS. I
just don't like the KDE desktop experience. I uninstalled it. I now

Same thing just now happened when I installed Xubuntu via the wubi-
installer.
