Public bug reported: trying to install any one of several versions of kubuntu or ubuntu ive tried over the years to install amongst others 9.04 9.10 10.04 and 11.04 from cd On my amilo xa2528 resulting in the following directly after install or start respectively ######################################## BusyBox 1.1xxxx depening on version etc (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system ######################################## ive tried to use a usbstick instead but either the same error or in rare cases different ones, though i never seem to be able to leave the busybox stage
Dozens of nights of googleing lead me to suspect that others share this problem though ive never seen a solution or a exact error match, this forum also contains a similar pair of problems though again not a exact match and a little old. on a single occasion ive succeded in using the wubi installer in windows to install. after which everything worked fine for several months. this leads me to suspect that the early stage of the installer cannot read the hdd or the cdrom, the cdrom directory in the busybox console is empty. wubi installer no longer works though, ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/797318 Title: Unable to install on Amilo xa2528 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/797318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
