I can confirm this bug! I installed the latest build of 9.10 on my external Disk.
But I can boot into Ubuntu, if I replug the drive at the BusyBox Prompt and the type exit. After adding rootdelay=90 it boots after a while, see my dmesg snapshot of this time. My Board is a Gigabyte G31M-S2L. I think this is a kernel Bug since Grub2 loads fine... ** Attachment added: "dmesg output snapshot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33227696/dmesg.log -- Ubuntu 9.10 Beta doesn't boot from usb-attached hard drive, exits to busybox console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
