Kubuntu LiveCD won't load, stuck in "BusyBox"

[jamieh]

My computer has two hard drives:

60GB Maxtor(Windows XP)
250GB Seagate (Empty, want to put Kubuntu on)

I keep all my data on an external drive.

Whenever I try to load the Kubuntu LiveCD, it get's stuck at some "BusyBox" screen right after the bouncing loading bar.

Here's what it says:


BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)_

Whenever I unplug the Seagate drive, it boots fine, even though Windows sees the drive just fine, and has no problems with it.

Are Seagate drives not Linux compatible?

You might need a boot parameter such as 'all_generic_ide'. Place it at the end of the boot line:

all_generic_ide worked for me when I had the same problem, although I put it with noapic and nolapic as well - don't know which one solved it because I'm new to Linux!

Cheers though :)
