Bug Description
I am NOT a developer so don't expect any technical stuff from me.
Ubuntu 10.4 64bit drops to a BusyBox v1.13.3 / Initramfs Shell - won't boot up AT ALL. I downloaded Ubuntu 10.4 via the Wubi installer SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL TIMES. Each time I've done so (and I've done it almost a dozen (12) times) I get the same results. I get the SAME DARN error msg which is:
Alert! /host/ubuntu/
Dropping to a shell
BusyBox v1.13.3
This happens will both Kernels (2.6.32-21) and (2.6.32-22)
Even after I try to do a recovery the same thing happens.
I have 64Bit Dual Core AMD PC. bought it brand new about a year ago.
I've used Ubuntu for several years now. I am TOTALLY disgusted w//10.4 and can't help wonder if this is THE RESULT OF MARK SHUTTLEWORTH STEPPING DOWN AS CEO?
I am not going to recommend Ubuntu to friends and family any more!!
I am so put out by this sloppy version (10.4) I am going to either switch BACK TO 9.10 or go w/Fedora or SUSE.
GET IT FIXED. I AM ASHAMED OF YOU ALL!

Also, I've noticed a few other people are having the same problems. I googled the error msg. and got a few hits on the web showing I am not alone.
Also, I downloaded 10.4 Kubuntu AND DID NOT HAVE ANY SUCH PROBLEMS. I just don't like the KDE desktop experience. I uninstalled it. I now regret that.
