Comment 19 for bug 350946

I created a bootable USB Flash Drive using the Jaunty RC .iso. It begins to boot normally, but before it finishes it drops to an initramfs prompt. If I enter "exit" it goes to another initramfs prompt. After entering exit again and getting another initramfs prompt, and then one more time (four total), it boots normally and brings Jaunty up. Unfortunately it does NOT remember any changes that I make to Jaunty or any of the programs under Jaunty, but otherwise all the programs work and it connects to the network, etc.

8.04, 8.10, and Jaunty's Beta version worked fine from a USB Flash Drive, and things like changing the background, adding links to Firefox, or whatever were sticky from boot-to-boot. It appears to be only the RC that works differently.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information on this issue.
