I just tried to install ubuntu 8.04 hady heron and when I try to boot up i get a screen that says type "help" for a list of commands and I get a command line also with a word like "initram"
i don't know what this means and don't undertand why it doesn't just boot up.
The installation is on a drive I just formatted so has no other operating system on it.

thanks for help.
