For me, blkid returns nothing. I have no way of finding out what my USB
stick is. I've tried appending live-media=/dev/sda1{sdb1|sdc1}
But really, I could keep trying different combinations of that all day
long. I'm attempting to install 14.04 onto a fresh hard drive. Do I have
any other options?

[Bug 1241589] Re: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs)
Re #68, I had the same issue. My HDD and SSD are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, so the USB drive would show up as /dev/sdc. However, when I ran blkid from the initramfs prompt, all I saw were sda* and sdb* partitions (and I know those were my internal drives based on the partition schemes). I was able to boot properly via the following steps: 1. Adding the live-media boot option as described in #55 (for me 'live-media=/dev/sdc1') 2. Removing the 'quiet splash' (so I could see what was going on easier) 3. Booting and waiting for the boot output to pause for a bit (something about unable to find USB at address...) 4. Removing the live USB and re-inserting it. The system then recognized a new USB drive at /dev/sdc and proceeded to boot normally. I know that's a very strange procedure, but it allowed me to boot and install properly, without doing anything drastic such as removing or zeroing my drives. For reference, I have a Lenovo Y580 with a SATA HDD and an mSATA SSD. In BIOS I had SATA in AHCI mode and was using UEFI (no compatibility/legacy modes).

Using the information as provided by #53 #54, I was able to boot into the liveOS of Ubuntu 14.04 with the problem hard drive connected, and that the hard drive is detected by the liveOS. With a Unetbootin liveUSB of Ubuntu 14.04, I did the following: (Finding the LiveUSB /dev/***1) 1) Allow the liveUSB to boot into the Busybox initramfs command prompt. 2) At the (initramfs) command prompt, type in: blkid 3) From the produced drive list, I assumed that the only TYPE=vfat that was listed had corresponded to the liveUSB flash drive, as that was the only connected device using FAT32. The vfat in my case was listed for /dev/sdf1 4) To reboot the computer, at the (initramfs) prompt, type in: reboot (Second part using Unetbootin liveUSB) 1) Highlight Try Ubuntu without installing. 2) Press the Tab key to bring up the boot parameters. 3) I then changed my line of: /casper/vmlinuz.efi initrd=/casper/initrd.lz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- persistent to /casper/vmlinuz.efi initrd=/casper/initrd.lz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash live- media=/dev/sdf1 -- persistent 4) Hit enter to continue with the boot into the liveOS. If using Unetbootin for your liveUSB, one could also make the command persistent by editing the syslinux.cfg that is on the root directory after the creation of the liveUSB.

#31 I've been able to narrow down my issue to a single hard drive (ATA ST1000DM003-1CH1 (/dev/sdc)). With this hard drive disconnected from the computer, the liveUSB is bootable into the live ubuntu 13.10 64bit OS. An fdisk list states that Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table. I can recall that this drive was formated through the Disks application, using Partitioning (GPT) under Ubuntu 12.10 32bit. This drive (Seagate) was also a new drive at the time.

This boot issue is also seen in the current daily builds of Trusty 32bit 64bit.

I had a similar problem with booting a live CD ubuntu gnome 13.10, just could not boot it on a Packard Bell TE69KB, so I ended up, by disabling the secure boot and UEFI in the BIOS plus fastboot in win8. I could then boot the live DVD. At this point, I decided to keep this config and try to install ubuntu 13.10. Big mistake, as it installed but the win8 was still there along with some other partitions. I then uninstalled ubuntu . Then i installed ubuntu 13.10 secure by using the whole disk, as I didn't want win8 on the machine at all!!. This has worked out OK, but there is now a problem with the boot-up, there is an error but it still boots up into ubuntu 13.10.

This has nothing to do with the manner in which the USB stick is created.

[Bug 1241589] Re: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs)
I've just seen this problem --- but in possibly a more useful context... I am building a machine. It's got one DVD drive and one disk. I am repeatedly installing a disk, booting a livecd, and examining the disk to see what's on it, deciding I don't want to wipe this one, and moving on to the next one in the pile. I get this error with *one specific drive*. With other disks installed in its place, everything is fine. So it's got nothing to do with the SATA settings or graphics card, because they haven't changed. The one peculiarity of the disk that failed is that it doesn't have a partition table --- the filesystem occupies the entire disk. Zeroing out the first few kilobytes of the disk solves the problem and everything boots. So I'd suggest that there's something wrong with the way the boot script is probing the disk. The filesystem had been correctly found; I was able to mount it using the file in /dev/disk/by-uuid. However, there wasn't an entry for the DVD. I don't know enough about how /dev/disk/by-uuid is populated to be able to point at a specific component, but I bet it's getting terminally confused by an invalid MBR partition table. I'd be really interested to know whether the other people who've ran into this were using brand new disks or disks with a GPT partition table. Addendum for the desperate: The disk can be zeroed from the initramfs prompt, using this command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda Let it run for a few seconds and reboot (you can't ctrl+C it).

Problem solved (at least for me)! This is valid for all PC's! 1. Remove all HDD's physically 2. Configure in BIOS your SATA port(s) hot-swap-capeable 3. Boot your PC with the Ubuntu 13.10 Live CD/USB device 4. Ignore error: no physical device found 5. If you are on GUI-level re-attach your HDD(s) and install Ubuntu The problem occurs espacially if your previous installation contains a Software-Raid (mdadm) in combination with full encryption (cryptsetup) Good luck! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241589 Title: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1241589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1241589] Re: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs)
I no longer have this problem. This is my setup and changes that I tried. Clevo P150EM (custom BIOS by prema) SSD (windows) HDD (general data) mSATA SSD (ubuntu) I know the problem wasn't with the boot media itself. I tried different USB ports, usb sticks and usb creator software packages (YUMI, unetbootin, Universal USB Installer, and dd), all of which gave failed boot with 13.10 x64 (initramfs). The same live USBs worked fine on my desktop computer. I installed 12.04 x64 and thenafter 13.04 x64 which worked fine. I could successfully upgrade 13.04 to 13.10. I flashed my BIOS back to the stock versions supplied by CLEVO, but still had the same problem with the 13.10 live usb. I disconnected all disks (HDD SSD) apart from the mSATA. I tried formatting the mSATA disk with gparted live usb (new partition table and new partitions) - still no luck. I noticed on my 13.10 install (upgraded from 13.04) that nautilus listed a few extra partitions under Devices that I didn't recognise. When I selected these partitions they failed to mount. These looked like they were being picked up somehow from when I was playing around with archlinux and btrfs (whole disk filesystem, compression no partitions), despite my attempts and deleting all existing partitions with gparted and creating a new partition table. I zeroed the disk with dd, after which I could install 13.10 successfully from live usb. So possible solution is zeroeing disk with dd? someone my be able to suggest more from what I found. hope that helps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241589 Title: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1241589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1241589] Re: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs)
I had a similar issue with a 13.10 live DVD. It was fine until I had a new SATA 2TB drive, then I could not run or install from the DVD, I just got busybox and initramfs error and the PC was locked. I read that this might be a SATA bios issue and the tip was to change the SATA mode or choose RAID option, I have no SATA mode menu in mi BIOS (Dell E521) for SATA so I chose the RAID option. It made no difference for me, but then I tried disconnecting both my HDD SATA drives and voila! it worked fine. Once installed I could plug the other HDD's back in and its still works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241589 Title: ubuntu 13.10 unable to boot on live usb (busy box - initramfs) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1241589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
