I run plop bootmanager - http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#pcmcia to load live linux distros from the usb drive on the PCMCIA card. This is because grub2 doesn't yet support the pcmcia drivers and I wanted to make use of my old laptop.
I run the instruction on how one should install ubuntu on a usb stick from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download.
The process goes through when I see the live CD screen where it lets me try Ubuntu without installing. The splash screen comes up and all and remains there for sometime but after that it stops and then I get this error:
BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter "help" for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs) /scripts/casper-premount/20iso scan: line 46: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found
Its trying to search for my cdrom drive when it shouldn't as I have it on usb drive!!!!!!!
Any experts out there have any suggestions/help/pointers etc.
Thank you for your time and attention.
