[Bug 1212977] Re: saucy/trusty CD images are unbootable, stuck in BusyBox shell

[Joseph Salisbury]

All the prior releases are available from:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/

However, I don't think the early daily releases are still available.
It's strange that we have the same machine, but I'm unable to reproduce
the bug.  I'm going to compare your dmesg/lspci output to mine to see
what hw diffs there are.
