Public bug reported:

I tried to install ubuntu 8.04.1 32bit with full disk encryption to a
usb external disk following the exact same procedure that I followed
when I made the installation to my internal disk.

Unfortunately, though no error messages are shown, just after ubuntu
initial screen is shown I just see the following:

“Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5 5ubuntu 12) Built-in Shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands

(initramfs)”

minus the quotes of course :)

I also don’t get any password promt.

I made the installation thrice with the same cd that I used for
installing ubuntu on my laptop (so it’s not a cd problem). I also tried
to install with the 64bit version as well as to a usb stick.

In the 64bit case the error screen was a little different but similar (I
don't remember the exact text).

Any ideas on what could be wrong?

Thank you :)
