Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS server install problem.

Post by t3kn0m0nk3y »

I purchased the FIT-PC2 with ubuntu 9.10 desktop. I would like to install the 8.04.3 LTS server version and followed the instructions on the wiki.

However some things did not go as instructed. When editing the grub line in the installation menu, I did add the "splash all_generic_ide --" but when it came to the partition menu, it again requested me to manually select the driver to detect the hard drive. I chose "generic-ide" which seemed to work.
The partitioner took a realllllllly long time, but eventually it copied install files and finished the install.

However, when booting and editing the grub line again with "splash all_generic_ide" it freezes after "Loading, please wait..."

Eventually it spits out:

Code: Select all

[ 46.577856] usb 2-2: string descriptor 0 read error: -71
[ 46.585839] usb 2-2: string descriptor 0 read error: -71
[ 46.589847] usb 2-2: can't set config #1, error -71
upon which it sits for several minutes and then drops to a busybox run L1 prompt for (initramfs)

I tried this several times from scratch. help.
