G'day, Haven't found anything related in the FAQ or archive, after downloading, burning, and booting from debian-live-etch-i386-gnome-desktop.iso from 28-May-2007 07:17. After the colour splash, it only goes as far as the initramfs prompt:
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) However, help, mount, ps, ls work fine, so the keystrokes are reaching the shell just fine. Is there anything I can do to help it over the hump, and continue booting? (After several years in exile on ubuntu, I do need to return to debian, but it would help heaps if the live CD works before attempting an install.) Erik P.S. Is there a more user-oriented list that I should be using? _______________________________________________ Debian-live-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
