Bug Description
I have Acer Aspire 5920G laptop. I've tried to run installation of Jaunty from usb flash, but failed. I've downloaded ubuntu-
1) I used 9.04 RC desktop cd iso
3) I expected to boot fully working 9.04 RC from USB disk.
4) It dropped me to Busybox during boot.
I can reproduce it, so I can give any useful information if somebody tells me how i can gather it.

Having the same problem on a Dell M1330 & Dell Latitude XT.
I booted in debug mode and got the casper.log and dmesg (attached).
Appears to not find /dev/sda, when I look at the system from the BusyBox prompt there is in fact a /dev/sda and /dev/sda1
