When trying to boot Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 1 (and Ubuntu 10.10) from a live USB memory stick on an Acer Aspire One (110L with 8GB SDD and 8GB SD memory card in the storage expansion slot) I get the following error (11.04 Alpha 1):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
BusyBox v1.17.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.17.1-7ubuntu2) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The splash screen briefly appears then I get the above error. Previous versions of Ubuntu didn't give this error (jaunty, karmic and lucid).
If I remove the SD card from the storage expansion slot and reboot from the USB stick, Ubuntu will then load up (I'm able to run 11.04 Alpha 1 from USB and installed 10.10 on my netbook this way).
I found this work-around from comments #6 and #8 on the following unrelated bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/626164
Jake Rayson had the same issue with 10.10 and put it on his ZDNet blog (I posted on his blog regarding how to get around this issue).
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/web-design-and-free-software-10004587/ubuntu-linux-is-rubbish-10020772/
I haven't been able to get apport / ubuntu-bug to run under 11.04 Alpha 1 otherwise I would have reported the bug that way.
I used startup disk creator from Lucid (version 0.2.22.1).
Please let me know if any further information is required.
Thanks

Hi Michael,
This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications-
apport-collect -p linux 685159
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/
Thanks in advance.
