Hi, Me again. I found the good advice somewhere. Sincerely I didn´t look for the place (maybe I will when I have time). Here is the fix (to my problem at least, that is, the message "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5Ubuntu12) (Build-inshell cash) (initramfs)" )
Case 1: AT BOOT TIME press F6 while at the Ubuntu´s boot list, that is to edit the boot string. Then use the arrow keys to get into the boot string, and insert the following string, that is the one that will allow you to boot normally, the string is (WITHOUT quotes, please) "pci=noacpi" for example, the original boot string is like the following: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxxxx ro quiet splash -- where xxxxxxxxxx is a long string composed of numbers and letters, never mind, ´quiet´ is to avoid you to see all the modules that the system loads, and ´splash´ string indicates you wanna see the usual horizontal bar while ubuntu is booting (loading its modules), and the last two hyphens -- means that there is nothing interesting to load after those -- (marks the end of boot string). SO YOUR NEW, modified, boot string, must read as follows: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=xxxxxxxxx pci=noacpi ro quiet splash -- Case 2: AFTER YOUR SYSTEM BOOTS, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING (you need to use ´vi´ -by the way, the best text editor EVER-.) You will find the same problem over and over unless you modify the boot string permanently in your brand new Ubuntu box. That permanent change is made adding the same string in the boot string, which is read in a text file located somewhere in the Ubuntu. As root, do the following FIRST, backup your original string (do it as a normal procedure, everytime you change something in your system, make a backup) # cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bkp now edit the file with the ´vi´ # vi /boot/grub/menu.lst Once there, find the boot string that will look pretty much the same like the generic boot string that Ubuntu uses the first time, but in this case, the string after UUID=xxxxxxxxx will be different, as I said, don´t worry, just leave it as is, and make sure you don´t modify that string. Now add the magic solution pci=noacpi (the same as in above Case 1 at boot time) and here you can either choose to leave the quiet splash or, like in my case, I simply deleted the quiet (to make it verbose) and left the splash and of course the hyphens ´--´ Of course, get out saving the change. (:wq) That is it. Your Ubuntu is now healthy. Thanks to the boys that contributed with the help. Enjoy your Hardy Heron !!! Bye.
