ubuntu 7.10 live cd does not boot on new system

[glenn opdycke-hansen]

it does try to boot but gets an error.  Let me find some more info from the
screen:

For xubuntu live cd, the kernel loads, the logo appears on the screen, then
the following is written:

BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian ...) Build-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) _

The program is waiting at a prompt.

The boot cd had been tested for problems.
Ideas?
