Dear experts,

i would love to install caelinux 2009, but it does not work.
Neither live version nor hd-installation.

I put the (checked) DVD in, start and can choose e.g. "live"
Then comes the ubuntu logo and then

BusyBox v1.1.3 ...

(initramfs)

And now? :(((

*************************************************************

The system is:

HP XW8200

2x Intel XEON 3.60GHz/4MB L2 Cache

Chipsatz: Intel E7525

3 Festplatten SCSI LVD 68Pin, 1x73GB (8K073L0 / 15K)+2x300GB (ST330000LW)

nVidia Quadro FX4500 512MB PCIe

6 x 2GB RAM PC2-3200R-333

1xFloppy 1.44"

2x DVD-RW von Plextor 1xModel: PX-716A, 1xModel: PX-800A

Can anybody help me please and show me a way to start

I had the same result (busybox) with my newer machine. I followed this post:
caelinux.com/CMS/index.php?option=com_jo...;id=4036&catid=3

The key part being:
But I could get the LiveDVD to boot with the option
"live all_generic_ide".

Enjoy,

Thanks for the fast answer!

Changing Bios SATA-Raid-Options-ROM = Deact to Akt

did not work :(

Changing Bios SCSI Option ROM= Act to Deact

did not work :(

I do not have the option &quot;live all_generic_ide&quot; (better: i cant find it).I have 3 Scsi HD and 2 dvd-drives (not scsi) from wich i try to start caelinux.

Where can i find the option &quot;live all_generic_ide&quot; or are there other ideas?

Thank you a lot! Florian

I have stolen a post from bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/223780 to help you out:

I have succeeded in installing Ubuntu 8.04 on the affected computer, and it has detected the dvd burner correctly. This is what I did:

Use the following kernel parameter when booting from the Ubuntu 8.04 cdrom: all_generic_ide

Here is what I did:
1. Boot from the Ubuntu cdrom
2. At the first screen, press &quot;ESC&quot; to leave the menu.
3. You get a warning, stating that you are leaving the graphical boot menu, click OK to do this.
4. At the prompt, enter &quot;live all_generic_ide&quot;

Unfortunately I dont have a live dvd with me and I dont recall the exact procedure. Did you hit escape before anything else when the live dvd menu came up? Not that I remember when the escape key should be pressed. I think I recall it being somewhat difficult to type in the live all_generic_ide fast enough.

Good luck,
- Matt
