I have been experiencing a similar issue on a Toshiba 335CDS laptop trying to run Fluxbuntu. As with you, the install went fine but booting from hard drive results in a drop to busybox with a complaint that the UUID of the root filesystem does not exist.
The info at http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=720093&s=a900252509f2ec0172617cfd10fec476&; seemed relevant, as it also featured a Toshiba laptop. I was able to use a modified version of the advice on that page to get the laptop working, by forcing an include of the ide-generic module at startup as follows: [These instructions are specific to Fluxbuntu, see the original link for other variants.] 1) cd /etc/initramfs-tools 2) sudo cp modules modules.backup 3) sudo leafpad modules 3a) In leafpad, add the line 'ide-generic' at the end of the commented section (last line), save and quit 4) sudo update-initramfs -uv After that, it boots without trouble. Several reports exist of this type of problem with Toshiba laptops, you can see some at: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=toshiba+laptop+busybox&btnG=Google+Search It is a real bug that seems to have existed for a while. -- BusyBox v1.1.3 starts instead of Ubuntu Hardy Kernel 2.6.24 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220885 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
