Comment 3 for bug 130732

Booting the Ubuntu 7.04 i386 CD on a desktop system with an Albatron KX400+ motherboard and an AMD Athlon (tm) XP CPU clocked at 1466MHz, with 768MB RAM, I get the following text after a minute or so of the Ubuntu shuttle:

BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs) _

(I copied this from a digital photo; I hope it's accurate.)

There's a /var but no /var/log and therefore no /var/log/casper.log, but there is a /casper.log. There's no /etc/fstab, but I managed to mount a USB CF-card reader and copy /casper.log to it. It's attached.

I don't know why there are repeated messages about not being able to open /dev/fd0 and /dev/fd1; I was able to mount and read a floppy disk. Unfortunately I don't know enough about *N*X to figure out how to try to mount the CD-ROM.

Is there a release of Ubuntu that won't give me this headache?
