I had a similar problem with 9.04rc-desktop-amd64 on Lenovo ThinkPad X200 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/363147). "Today's ISO", jaunty-desktop-amd64.iso suggested by Steve Langasek solved the problem.

Status in “casper” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Ubuntu: New Status in casper in Ubuntu Jaunty: Fix Released Status in linux in Ubuntu Jaunty: New Bug description: I have Acer Aspire 5920G laptop. I've tried to run installation of Jaunty from usb flash, but failed. I've downloaded ubuntu-9.04-rc-desktop-i386.iso using 8.10, started "Create a USB Startup Disk" program and created a fresh 9.04 boot usb flash disk. When I tried to boot my laptop from this flash disk, it immediately said "Missing operating system" to console. The I booted back to my 8.10, create a VM (with virtualbox) and booted it from iso (started a live session). Successfully. I started "USB bootdisk creator" from 9.04 live session, created bootable usb disk again and rebooted by laptop. GRUB showed me language selection. I selected russian and hit the "Try Ubuntu" menu entry. "Loading, please wait..." message flashed and usplash came up. Progress bar was running left-to-right and backwards, as it was expected. But after few seconds usplash had gone, and I saw a Busybox 1.10.2's prompt (without any error messages) ending with "(initramfs)". USB flash led stopped blinking at this time. Alt+{2,3,4,5,6,7} shows empty screens. 1) I used 9.04 RC desktop cd iso 3) I expected to boot fully working 9.04 RC from USB disk. 4) It dropped me to Busybox during boot. I can reproduce it, so I can give any useful information if somebody tells me how i can gather it.
