I have a system 76 netbook and trying to boot 11.10 via a usb stick I made from a downloaded iso using the ubuntu startup disk created on the ubuntu LTS version.
when I boot to the usb drive it fails after showing ubuntu and the dots underneath and takes me to a busy box prompt telling to type init = boot args
would like to run the latest ubuntu on this netbook so any help would be appreciated.
Everytime I need to reinstall the os on this computer I have to start with 10.04 since that is the only distro that will boot from a usb key.
It is a star1 and I am using the 32 bit ubuntu.
Is there a kernel module missing or is there some way I can manually make the usb stick boot on this netbook?
I would like to do a clean install every now and then and would like to use a usb stick since that is the most economical and environmental friendly.
