    did everyone move on already???

    I have some legacy machines locked into 8.0.4 LTS at the moment
    and did a fresh install on new hardware
    Hardy Heron has been very stable for us since 2006, and I fully intend to upgrade everything in my network to 10.0.4 or maybe 12.0.4 at the rate I am going

    question is - I have new OCZ SSD drives
    at first I was not able to install HH, then I used the "all_generic_ide floppy=off irqpoll" on the install

    that went fine - and everything installed

    but now when I boot HH - it just reverts back to initramfs prompt again


    did I just pick a dead thread???
    yes I am going to upgrade - but still have to deal with legacy software that runs great on HH 8.0.4

    WTF.... So again tried installing it in IDE drive with an external converter for USB again it SPAT the INITRAMFS Error on my face....

    But installs like a charm on the IDE drive directly connected...

    The 8.XX Series seem to mess up when being installed in any other type of drive apart from the IDE drive....

    HOPE THIS HELPS !!!! And rings a bell to someone who can fix it !!!!!

    booksbuggy : Please read the above posts the installation fails even on a Flash Drive Appreciate you trying but it's not helping us......
    SATA drives were working
    trying to find example of someone using SSD harddrive - 10.0.4 works great on SSD's
    but not HH 8.0.4 - anyone have a quickfix????

    Re: initramfs + busybox trouble installing

    my HH 8.0.4 was booting straight to initramfs after a fresh install

    I had to use the F6 boot option to get the install done
    added
    all_generic_ide floppy=off irqpoll

    problem is the new SSD drive

    once installed it would still boot to initramfs - thought after the install everything would be wonderful

    had to edit the /boot/grub/menu.1st and manually add the boot option there

    now everything is peachy
