2009-05-07 Thread dannyp32
@daniel: yes i tried unplugging and replugging several times but it never 
worked for me
i tried doing it in different periods but it didnt work


@ aleg: sorry but its still not clear to me where to insert these commands
do i do them when i get the black screen with the error message or using a live 
cd?
(i am not  experienced so please help make it easy for me)


this is just a general question

i have already reformatted my usb device many times because the usb
install was not successful so will that be bad to my usb flash drive?
(about 10 times maybe a little more)

2009-05-04 Thread dannyp32
hello i am new to linux and i want to try out ubuntu but i dont want my
changes to be erased every time i reboot

i did a persistent install on a 2 gb usb using the tool in the live cd
i have already checked my live cd for error and it says that there are no errors

when the usb persistent install tool finished i rebooted using the usb ( the 
live cd was no longer inside)
the ubuntu menu that says
"try without any changes to your computer
install ubuntu 
check for defects" (something like that) 
this menu comes up fine 

but the problem starts when i choose try without any changes to your computer
after a little while of loading the screen turns black and i get exactly this:

[ 2.572013] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)
[ 3.408016] ata4: softreset failed (device not ready)

modprobe: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/
modules.dep: no such fie or directory

Loading please wait...

Busybox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-2ubuntu7) built-in 
shell (ash)

enter 'help' for a list of built in commands

i am pretty sure the problem is not my usb drive because i was able to install 
ubuntu 8.10 and use it by doing the same method
before i installed i tried formatting my usb drive to fat32 and fat
please help me out i really want this work because i love ubuntu 9.04 but i 
cant install it on my computer due to other issues
i forgot to mention i have tried reformatting it and installin it again with 
the same cd but i got the same problem
i also used the method in pendrivelinux.com but i got an error aswell ( i dont 
remember if it was exactly the same but i think it was)
does it matter if the cd is amd64 or i386 because mine is amd64 and my computer 
has a amd athlon x 2 5200 processor so i know it supports it
thanks


i tried doing a full installation to an 8 gb usb but i had the same
problem so it is not the casper loop file



computer specs:
amd athlon x 2 5200
4 gb ram
160 gb hard drive
gigabyte motherboard
