Bug Description
Daily live installer CD fails to boot. Karmic nightly, cd dated 20090929.2. This worked (it booted) OK using live CD from 20090923.
Immediately upon livecd kernel boot, system drops to BusyBox prompt with error messages:
"Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init. No init found. Try passing init= bootarg."
I tried passing ACPI=off cmdline argument, no effect. Also tried adding break=top, then modprobe piix and modprobe ata_piix. No effect.
System:
Dell Optiplex 960, 4Gb RAM, with Intel ICH10 ide (fakeraid) controller.
Will try and add suggested text dumps from guidelines, but not sure if those cmds are available from BusyBox.
