development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore,
we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further

@Joseph, Tested todays ISO that includes the bug 1223195 fix and the
error remains. No change agaianst this bug report at all.

There seem to be three of us experiencing this issue... Has anyone had
any success upgrading the BIOS? I haven't had time to figure out how to
make a large enough DOS image that actually fits the BIOS upgrade on it
:)

I can't test upgrades, but Ctrl+D gave me the same kernel panic as
comment #45.
Removing splash/quiet and adding debug to the kernel command line only
produces an uninteresting log like comment #36.

Per comment #46, it sounds like this bug does not happen if the system
is upgraded versus a fresh install. Daniel, is there any way you can
test a Raring to Saucy upgrade on your system as well?

For complete cover and knowing there was a 'beta' BIOS update 'F7a' for
my board and I have just done that update. Gigagytes inbuilt QFlash is
great - No boot disks or Windows required. ;-)
Tested and get the same issue. The board I have which is a Gigabyte GA-
97a-DS3 Rev: 1.0.

Title:
saucy daily-live images are unbootable on Dell
@Joseph, Never had an issue with any dist-upgrade from raring to saucy.
The issue is all centred around booting with the saucy licecd image.
I have subscribed to the bug you mentioned in the comment. I will be
only too happy to test any fix upon release.

This may be related to bug 1223195 . There is a fix coming for that bug
shortly, which we can have you test.
@Phil, just to confirm, you don't hit this issue if you upgrade from
Raring to Saucy? It only happens for a fresh Saucy install, or when you
boot a Saucy LiveCD?

I have this issue too. I have had no issues with live iso images up
until saucy.
Booting and after leaving and doing CTRL+D. I get a lovely kernel panic
with the message:
/init: line 352: can't open /root/dev/console: no such file
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
From #39 also Q3.
Doing a dist-upgrade from 13.04 is fine. There are no issuesas I have
seen on the 20 times I have done it.

If it helps any, I had this problem when I tried to boot the saucy image from
Aug 18. It dropped me to a busybox shell or when I selected check this CD for
errors the machine would reboot after a few seconds.
However, I now tested it again using the image from Aug 30 and it boots fine.

Could we boot this with quiet/splash removed from the kernel command
line (if present) and debug added (F6 gets you a menu to fiddle with the
command line).

Daniel - Generally when the boot drops into BusyBox it is because the
kernel cannot find a root file system, or there are bad drives in an
mdadm RAID set, or other disk failures. Are there _any_ messages
indicating why the boot process has been interrupted ?

Can you test the latest Saucy kernel with a Raring installation? The latest
Saucy kernel can be downloaded from:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/3.11.0-4.9/+build/4907705
Also, does installing Saucy fail as well, or just booting live images?

Tested. That saucy kernel works fine (in raring).
Booting from the latest live images fails, as does selecting Install
Ubuntu from the same images. Both get stuck in the BusyBox shell.
Double-checked that the saucy image does indeed work in a different
machine. Just not on the Optiplex 990.
**
This could be a udev bug, since the Saucy kernel boots fine on a Raring
install. Adding that bug task. We would like to see if there is a
kernel oops or error when the failure happens. From the BusyBox prompt,
can you run the dmesg command and post the output?

One thing we could do would be to install Raring, but then boot some
Saucy kernels on it, to identify the earliest kernel that did boot and
the first that didn't boot. Do you think this is something you could
try?

Was there an earlier Saucy image that did work? It would be good to
know if there was an early image that worked and then identify the first
image that didn't work. We could then compare kernel versions and
perform a bisect if needed.

I can't tell. I don't boot isos on this machine very often, and can't seem to
find any earlier saucy images other than the current ones:

If anyone knows how to find the earlier saucy images then I can do some
(slow) bisection.

Sure. I have been doing all my Ubuntu work for a couple of years on this
machine without any issue, and these saucy images are the first to fail.
But I can retest some old isos to verify it's not a regression of the
machine itself.
