I can boot and run the live CD "ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64."
Verified checksum and is ok
When I install it via CD or after running in CD mode and installing from the desktop the system will not boot. 250gig SATA drive.
I can't for the life of me get it to boot after installation.
It keeps dropping into 'initramfs'
I even tried installing "ubuntu-10.04.1-server-amd64" and get the same result.
Is it something to do with the SATA drive?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
