Comment 101 for bug 106864

I have been getting this problem while trying to boot Hardy off a Wubi install process. I am using the 64-bit version.

I am currently running an Abit IB9 motherboard which has an IT8211 IDE controller as well as a SATA controller. Previously I've encountered this problem with Feisty and could not resolve it. With Feisty the boot would get so far then crash out to BusyBox but also hang the whole system. With Hardy it gets so far, displays the below output just before crashing out to BusyBox but it will still let me type, although it is very lagged.

I have tried disabling the IDE controller in the BIOS and I only have 1 SATA drive connected.

It's worth noting that I don't get this problem booting from a Knoppix LiveCD, although I'm sure it could be any number of things that are different. I will be trying to alternate cd later today as well as the latest daily build to see if I get any success.

[output just before BusyBox]
