    Error when running from USB flash drive - BusyBox

    I followed instructions from this site on how to run Ubuntu from a flash drive on any computer. I did everything right and booted it up, and it booted perfectly the first time. However, ever since that first time I can't get it to load again.

    I've gotten this BusyBox many times.. I hate that word. This is what it says right before the BusyBox comes up:

    Code:
    sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
    sd 6:0:0:0: Attachd scsi generic sg4 type 0
    sr2: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x tray
    sr 6:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 5
    end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
    Registering unionfs 1.4
    unionfs: debugging not enabled
    loop: module loaded
    squashfs: version 3.3 (2007/10/31) Phillip Lougher
    end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
    end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
    I don't know what this means.. except that there was an input/output error. My flash drive's ID is sdb, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing. I've tried it on two computers now. I also booted with the all_generic_idle option and removed quiet splash.

    Does anybody have tips?

    Oh sorry, the URL function added an extra http://

    It's fixed now.

    Thanks, that's what got it working. Now it works just like my installation on my hard drive.
