Help!!!

[Det]

Hola Cristian,

this seems to be a very well known problem with Ubuntu
8.XX series - I shortly ran into it when I tried out 8.04,
where the Live CD did not even boot on my laptop.

No one really told about the problems, and there may
be some different which causes Ubuntu to jump into the
BusyBox - but many solutions are suggested if you google
for "initramfs" or (better) "BusyBox".
It may be related to the detection of the boot partition,
which may possibly fail due to HD setup problems.

One thread to start with is here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195

It mostly means changing the boot options, which you
can do in the boot menu after pressing F6.

What you should do is removing the "quiet" and perhaps
the "splash" option, so you get a more verbose boot
output which can give a hint to your problem.

For further help try the ubuntu forums themselves,
as it is not a studio related problem, aso outside
this specialised forum here you may find a broader
resource of expertise regarding that HD/boot stuff.

Hope that helps.
