Public bug reported:
Trying to do a clean install on a Sony Vaio (VGN-BX540B) laptop. This
laptop is currently running Janunty Jackalope, so this is a new bug
specific to KK.
I downloaded the 9.10 Beta-1 CD and burned to disc (This same disc was
used to clean install a Dell machine also, so the disc is good, and
verified correct, disc image also validated via MD5SUM).
Placed disc in CD tray, and reboot.
Language Menu-> English
Install Menu -> Try Ubuntu without making changes to my current installation
A black and white version of the Ubuntu logo comes on an otherwise black
screen
After about a minute or so, the screen fills up with:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
stdin: error 0
BusyBox v.1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in command.
(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It then sits and waits. Once I hit enter, the initram prompt comes back
up. Could not find any place where it mounted the iso image, or any
evidence of a pivotroot to get the system operational.
I also tried to just do the install, figuring I could regress it if it
did not work... The install also fails to start going directly into the
install.
