- Bicep, on 08/12/2008, -0/+2This is a dirty NTFS partition problem from what I can tell. I duplicated it on my work machine by: a.) booting into Windows, b.)hard powering-off the machine with the button, then c.) powered on and selected Ubuntu as the OS to start, then I get dropped to the busy box. After trying to boot into Ubuntu several times, I still get the busy box. To fix the problem I booted up into Windows XP(to the point where I have the login screen), then I clicked options>restart and upon selecting Ubuntu booted into it with no problems.
So I'm not sure why things got held up before you hard powered-off but that's what caused the NTFS filesystem to become dirty and therefore Ubuntu not being able to boot. Sounds like there are two bugs here that need to be addressed, 1.) the bug that caused you to get hung up and resulted in the hard power-off, and 2.) the bug that doesn't give us any output or further instructions for what to do when trying to boot into Ubuntu and getting dropped to the busy box when the NTFS partition is dirty. - apothekari, on 08/12/2008, -0/+1OK cue all the "what a dumbass" comments.
But I have to say I have had a hard time getting any of the Distributions of Linux to work except on my Xbox of all things.
I have 2 AMD64 machines that apparently just HATE Linux and I've just given upon it for now.
