Public bug reported:
I have an HP DV2-1030US laptop (great little machine for a good price)
with Ubuntu 8.10 running on it; 8.10 works almost completely, and I can
boot the 8.10 distribution both from CD-ROM and USB stick (via
unetbootin).
Unfortunately, Ubuntu 9.04 won't boot either from CD-ROM or USB. After
booting from the Desktop Install CD and selecting "Default", it prints a
couple of messages and goes into graphical mode with the Ubuntu logo and
the progress indicator. It then sits there for a while (the disk access
light blinks occasionally) and eventually returns to a BusyBox prompt.
Again, this is before any installation; it shouldn't need to access the
harddisk at all, since I'm booting from USB. And the same laptop that
fails to boot under 9.04 boots and installs fine under 8.10.
The behavior has occurred consistently in 9.04 alpha, 9.04 beta, 9.04
rc, and 9.04 release.
