I have the same problem! The configuration of my PC is Motherboard: Asus A8N-VM CSM HDD: 2 WD HDs (both of them are ATA) and the DVD writer is also ATA No sata device
At first, I upgrade my system from 7.10. But I found that, after the upgrade, the DVD writer cannot read almost all CD-R, while those discs can be read properly under Windows. So, I can sure that those CD-R are readable. Also, if I mount the CD-Rs manually, say sudo mount /dev/cdrom1 /media/cdrom0 -t iso9660 it reported that I used a wrong type to mount. After, I try to format the partition and install 8.04 from the live CD. However, whenever I booted from the live CD, the system stopped at "busybox". I guess these two problem are related, just like what bertm suggested, it seemed that the system cannot found the live cd. -- initramfs error/problem ubuntu 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222176 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
