View Full Version : [ubuntu] VAIO Ubuntu 10.10 & 8.1 install failure

BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) Built-in shell (ash)
(initramfs) Can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdron/casper/filesystem.squashhfs) on //filesystem.squashhfs


Can someone please parse this failure message? Attempting to load Ubuntu 10.10 on Sony VAIO PCV-RX550, 512 mb ram, 1.50 GHz P4 processor.
My 10.10 32 bit install disk has produced sucessful installs on other computers. This computer runs Window OS sucessfully. So neither the computer or the disk are at fault.

A Ubuntu 8.1 installation completes, but then will not load. Keeps demanding a reboot.

Is there a VAIO issue?

Jim

8.10 is unsupported, so best forgetting about this one.

Can you install using the alternate ISO?

Solved.
:popcorn:Problem was exclusively with the installer (me).
11.4 running perfectly on Vaio, plays well well others on windows network.
