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?
