Hi,
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my Pc. When I insert the Cd ans reboot, I selected the option install Ubuntu. Then I get the Ubunu screen with the logo.
After that I'm getting :
Busy Box v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5 Ubuntu 12) Built-in Shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands
(initramfs) _Then the cursor is blinking and nothing happens ...
Can anyone tell me how to proceed from here ?
Thanks
Maybe the cd is damaged. You could try another one or the alternative cd.
before I get this error, I get the message:
ACPI: BIOS age (1997) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI
ACPI: Disabling ACPI support
Does this mean I cannot Ubuntu on my old machine..?
Thanks
Install Ubuntu using the alternative cd and then edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-15-generic
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=3015a7a1-6e5d-42d6-934d-193459bed89b acpi=force
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic
quiet
savedefaultSome thing may be slightly different. Don't change them. Just append the acpi=force at the end of the third record.
If that causes you some problems, you may have to add the
pci=noacpiat the end of the same line, furthmore.

Hi, thanks for the reply.. can you tell me howto edit the file ?
Where is the menu.lst file located ?
Thanks..
So, can I suppose that you have installed succesfully Ubuntu?
Open terminal.
If you have Gnome:
gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lstKDE:
kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lstIf you prefer a simple editor
