Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: busybox-initramfs
I put in the 8.04 live cd (both the 32 and 64 do this)
after i select an boot option it shows the Ubuntu loading screen then crashes
to the BuzyBox initramfs prompt.
it is not a bad burn as i have tried the same cd in my other computers and it
works fine.
also note that before i tried using the live cd to make a fresh install of
8.04, i used the update manager to update from 7.10 which did run on my
computer. After the install/upgrade was complete (and i restarted) i got the
same buzybox prompt as i do with the live cd.
also note that when in grub if i select the previous kernel i can load
into Ubuntu 8.04 just fine. So perhaps the problem is with the kernel?
I have attached a copy of my grub menu so you can see the two different
kernels i am running. I also attached a copy of my hardware profile. If
i need anything else please let me know
busybox error:
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash)
<sparticus> Enter "help" for a list of built-in commands.
if i take out the splash quiete i see this right before above prompt:
check root - bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat
/proc/modules ls /dev AlERT!
/dev/disk/by-uuid/c3c46515-0416-4264-a75c-1f81fc17fc24 does not exist.
droppinng to a shell!
finally i get this error only when using the live cd this comes after the
buzybox prompt:
(initramfs) [ 361.150671] 8139cp 0000:04:05.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is
not an 8139+ compatible chip
<sparticus> [ 361.150714] 8139cp 0000:04:05.0: Try the "8139too" driver
instead.
