Hardy Heron Live CD startup

Apologies if this is an FAQ that I haven't been able to locate, but...

On one of my machines the Live CD boots to a BusyBox shell with a user 
prompt of (initramfs) no matter what boot option I select. As I'm 
thinking of migrating from Debian to Ubuntu on this system it would 
obviously be helpful to get past this point! :-)

The CPU is a Pentium III at 800 mHz with 768 MB of RAM and is perfectly 
happy to run Debian Etch, so is presumably compatible with Ubuntu.

Any thoughts anyone?
