That is not the same machine that you provided info for previously:

However the 700Mhz should be OK as well. And I understand it has 1.5Gb
of memory - correct? Does the hardy liveCD not boot on both? You have
checked the CD from the startup menu on the CD & it shows to be OK?

When you get the busybox initramfs error, what *exactly* does the error
message say?
