Xubuntu Won't Properly Initiate and Exits to BusyBox
When I boot the xubuntu installation CD, the screen with language selection loads, I select english and then go to "install CD". After hitting install, I get the message that "Resource is not an IRQ entry". I get the xubuntu logo in blue and a bar moving back and forth. Then it immediately goes to something called BusyBox v1.1.3 and a command line that begins (initramfs) and the a blinking underscore.
Does anyone know what's going? Any suggestions on how to get this working? It's an old Compaq Presario 1500T (Pentium 4) with what should be a completely clean hard drive (I ran Boot and Nuke on it). No one on the ubuntu forum could help, but obviously it's a big problem, so I was hoping someone here might know. |
Hmm, that appears to be a Compaq and IBM specific bug.
Is it a livecd? Does it work if you use it as such? There is a comment about thre error in the link below but it was caused by a non-existent floppy drive - I don't know whether that is your problem : http://odysseus.wordpress.com/2007/1...nd-ubuntu-710/ |

Have you tried changing BIOS settings? Disabling - or even removing - one or more components may help as it appears to be a matter of IRQs. Unfortunately, there is no knowing which one could be the culprit so you'll have to experiment a bit.
