Boot Drops To A (initramfs) Prompts/busybox

while and it'd been working fine till now. Every time I try to boot I get this message and I can not go any further: BusyBox v1.17.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.17.1-10ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands (initramfs) My main worry are my files and pictures as I don't have a back-up.

You can then mount your hard drive and find your folder (should be in the home folder). About the problem, do you remember what was the last thing you have done? Did you install a package from PPA repositories? –medigeek Jun 20 '12 at 21:56 Press ctrl+D to boot from there –Ketan Patel Nov 7 '12 at 10:28 Check out this askubuntu.com/questions/137655/… –Ketan Patel Nov 7 '12 at 10:30 have you dual boot system ? –Ketan Patel Nov 7 '12 at 10:31 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote I have the same problem...I did some commands in the terminal after logging into the live cd The following step is for removing the i-node In the terminal I typed sudo debugfs -w /dev/sda1 debugfs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) debugfs: clri <8> debugfs: quit After that restart the system and again boot into the live cd In the terminal type sudo fsck -yv /dev/sda1 It will work.....definitely After logging into the desktop in the terminal type the following commands sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get check For More Details visit the tutorial page http://dcageek.blogspot.com/2013/02/ubuntu-initramfs-error-during-boot.html For More Visit details http://dcageek.blogspot.com share|improve this answer edited May 13 '13 at 16:34 answered Nov 7

I created a live usb using the Universal USB installer for windows. The flash drive boots fine but when i select "try ubuntu without installing" it moves ahead and gets stuck at an initramfs prompt. I read through a bunch of threads but none match my problem. Any help would be appreciated. 14.04 boot usb live-usb initramfs share|improve this question http://askubuntu.com/questions/528646/live-usb-boot-stuck-at-initramfs-prompt asked Sep 26 '14 at 4:42 Ronak Mistry 611 Is there any message shown when you are shown the prompt? Do you have a screenshot (eg taking photo of screen)? I don't know for certain it'd help but it may be worth a try. –thomasrutter Sep 26 '14 at 4:54 No @neon_overload, just the prompt. I can type in basic commands. Nothing more. –Ronak Mistry Sep 26 '14 at 5:03 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote I had this issue, and my efi partition was full. I think this caused the issue because installation always stopped at that drive, and displayed the initramfs prompt as stated in this issue. I tried many of the fixes on this page and many other pages. It took days to figure out which fix would work. I finally created a USB boot drive on my WIN 10 machine using Lili USB Creator, and what do you know? I could install Ubuntu on my Linux-dedicated machine from that USB boot drive. I had tried at least three other USB Boot disk tools or command-line methods. Now I have to figure out how to grow my efi partition. It's no longer full, but damn close. Oh and AND WiFi isn't working...yet. HW: Lenovo s21e System (finally!): Ubuntu 14.04 LTS share|improve this answer

Try passing init= bootarg] [BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)] [Enter 'Help' for a list of built-in commands.] (initramfs) I have no idea why this happens, and I get the error when I open any of the kernel versions or any recovery mode. Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop is the only OS installed on the computer, which is a Lenovo S10-3. I can eventually get it to go away, sometimes by repeatedly unplugging it and plugging it back in, and sometimes I will boot into GParted, do nothing, then restart and it will work. I have found some solutions online, but all of them involve the error happening as a result of dual booting with Windows. I have made no major system changes recently, so I can't see anything like that being the problem. If anyone know what's wrong or how to fix the issue it would be a great help. If anyone needs any more information, I can do my best to provide it.
