Hi, i am following an alternative method of installation of Ubuntu, which is on the wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB

I am trying to install Ubuntu with an USB stick with a Compaq EvoN1020v laptop, which doesn't have the bios boot option for usb. To do that i have created a boot Cd as described on the page above.

The problem is that i fall on the BusyBox v1.1.3 built-in shell(ash) (initramfs) issue. I found some posts here regarding that, but i believe that none of them were trying to install with a usb image. The method used to created the image was the one on: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/04/09/usb-ubuntu-804-installation-from-windows/

Besides that, i have tried to add the all_generic_ide parameter on the grub boot, as suggested on some of those, but with no success. If someone can help me here, that would be very nice.

Thanks

I've had the same issue installing Ubuntu 8.04 on a 16Gb SanDisk Cruizer, trying to boot up on an IBM ThinkPad laptop. Only had this problem when I tried installing the Lilo bootloader though; previously tried using Grub as a boot loader but kept getting Error Code 15. Lilo seems to allow you to boot up but can't find some OS files...
