Hi
i m trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 from a usb flash drive to an aspire one 8gb(ssd) but the instalation stops after selecting language with this message:
"Loading please wait...
Busy box v1.10.2(Ubuntu 1:1.10.2Ubuntu) built-in shell (ash)
Enter "help" for a list of built-in commands
(initramfs)"

Could anybody help me?

Same here on Dell Mini 9 with Netbook Remix. Tried two USB sticks, three downloads from three different mirrors (as Ubuntu doesn't have check media option as Fedora had since nineties) and still neither Live CD nor install option is working.
It seems strange as Dell Mini 9 was allegedly tested with this OS and passed with only minor problems. Well, not to be able to install it seems like a quite major issue to me. :-)
Running clonezilla live CD with no problem on the very same hardware created by very same version of unetbootin (357), so probably not USB boot or USB key boot image creation issue.
