Public bug reported:
I downloaded the 32-bit Desktop Edition .ISO for Ubuntu Maverick 10.10
and created a bootable USB stick with usb-creator-gtk on a 10.04 laptop.
The MD5 sum for the ISO image is 59d15a16ce90c8ee97fa7c211b7673a8 which
matches the one listed in the MD5SUMS file for
ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso.
The stick booted fine on the laptop (HP Compaq nx6310) and I was able to
install Maverick.
However, on my Dell Mini 9 the stick doesn't boot at all. Here is what happens:
- the "hit a key for options" icon is displayed at the bottom of the screen
- I can access the main menu and modify options normally
- when booting from the cd, the Ubuntu logo with dots below appears for a moment
- sometimes the logo looks weird, as if displayed with characters in text mode
- the exact appearance of the screen varies, e.g. sometimes the background is
magenta
- the netbook drops into busybox with the message:
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
I've tried all the provided boot options (acpi=off etc.) as well as
"memmap=1K#0x7f800000" which was mentioned in a forum thread which was
about a different booting problem.
