Public bug reported: When trying to boot Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 1 (and Ubuntu 10.10) from a live USB memory stick on an Acer Aspire One (110L with 8GB SDD and 8GB SD memory card in the storage expansion slot) I get the following error (11.04 Alpha 1):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No init found. Try passing init= bootarg. BusyBox v1.17.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.17.1-7ubuntu2) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The splash screen briefly appears then I get the above error. Previous versions of Ubuntu didn't give this error (jaunty, karmic and lucid). If I remove the SD card from the storage expansion slot and reboot from the USB stick, Ubuntu will then load up (I'm able to run 11.04 Alpha 1 from USB and installed 10.10 on my netbook this way). I found this work-around from comments #6 and #8 on the following unrelated bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/626164 Jake Rayson had the same issue with 10.10 and put it on his ZDNet blog (I posted on his blog regarding how to get around this issue). http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/web-design-and-free-software-10004587 /ubuntu-linux-is-rubbish-10020772/ I haven't been able to get apport / ubuntu-bug to run under 11.04 Alpha 1 otherwise I would have reported the bug that way. I used startup disk creator from Lucid (version 0.2.22.1). Please let me know if any further information is required.
