I am failing to boot 10.04 in a particular machine which is currently using 8.04.4.
The Lucid cd boots, I can get to the menu after a keyboard action at the symbols, and if necessary I can edit the boot string. However, after a short while I see:
Busy Box v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built in shell (ash)
Enter 'Help' for a list of built in commands
(initramfs) stdin:I/O error
Mount:mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed:no such device
Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
To my inexperienced eyes this looked like maybe a bad CD or a bad read in the drive, so I did some tests (in its normal installed OS of 8.04) which seem to verify the cd and drive really are ok.
The machine is a Dell Dimension 4100 but the graphics card is non dell, and the CD/dvd drive being used for booting is also non Dell.
8.04.3 live cd runs ok as long as F4 safe graphics is first chosen, (otherwise the display shows out of range video for default graphics). This machine is in use normally with an install of 8.04.4.
9.10 live cd hangs (at maybe a graphics stage?) even if safe graphics is used.
lspci and lsusb (from it normal running in 8.04) are as follows:
