With one of my computers I have the same problem. It installs Dapper and Edgy (and any other distro I tried) without a problem. Feisty Live CD does not boot however, which I now think is related to initramfs, which I think (not know) replaces initrd. Sorry if I am mistaken in this. Without quiet and splash I get on booting (hand copied):
........ ........ [65.733286] hdc: ATAPI 48X CD-Rom driver, 128 kB Cache, DMA [65.733671] Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 cp: unable to open 'root/var/log/': No such file or directory Done Begin: Running /scripts/unit-bottom... mount: Mounting /root/dev/ in /dev/.static/dev failed: no such file or directory Done mount: ............ : No such file or directory ....... ....... target system doesn't have /sbin/init Replacing the CD-ROM drive with another one did not change this, except now a ATAPI 24X CD-Rom was found. Replacing the NIC did not help either (it was due anyway, as it already did not work well in Edgy). I have downloaded the alternate CD and this seems to work, I could check it for errors, and it is now checking the memory of my system, already one pass without finding an error. A short description of my system: MB chipset: Aladdin 5 Processor: AMD K6-2 501.2 MHz Memory: 320 MiB, 217 MiB/s I sincerely hope this will help you correct this bug, which, as I already said, seems to be related to initramfs Jaap -- Fiesty Live CD crashes during Boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78380 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
