Title:
  Hardy Alternate installer blank log screen

Status in “busybox” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I have been using the  ubuntu-8.04-beta-alternate-amd64.iso     Sat
  Apr 5 11:09:53 2008 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) to rebuild one
  of my boxes.  Typically I would netboot but the current netboot files
  will not detect any SATA hard drive in my amd64 or i386 computers.

  The installer is fine, but if you ALT-F2 through F4 to get to a busy-
  box or the log screen and then go back to the installer window after
  that all the busy-box screens are blank with a flashing cursor.  For
  screen's 2 and 3 you can press enter and the shell prompt will appear,
  but the log screen is forever blank.

  If you flip between installer and busy-box screens then the busy-box
  screen will blank again, requiring ctrl-d and then enter to get a new
  shell prompt.

  Have tried this with both expert and non-expert modes, (F6 from the
  boot menu), and with verbose and quiet as part of the kernel string
  and on both computers.

  PC1: AMD Phenom, nVidia 8800GTS, 8GB DDR2-1066 (amd64 version of Alternate ISO)
  PC2: Intel Pentium Dual, ATI Radeon Express 1100, 2GB DDR2-667 (i386 version of Alternate ISO)

  I am putting this under busy-box as I do not know where it should be.

  Thank you
