[ubuntu] Failure to run Ubuntu Live on Acer 6935G

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have tried to run a Live Ubuntu (ver 9.04) on my Acer 6935G laptop to determine compatibility. Unfortunately everytime I attempt to do that, it drops me to a Busy Box shell with no error message. I tried the solution suggested for those with Intel D940 motherboards and waited for a couple of minutes before typing the 'exit command. It then gave me the following message: cp: cannot create 'root/var/log/' No such file or directory mount:mounting dev/ on/root/dev failed mount: mounting/sys on/root/sys failed mount:mounting/proc on/root/proc failed Target filesystem does not have /sbin/init. No init found try passing init=bootarg If I retry the 'exit' command the laptop just hangs up at the command prompt. The laptop is an Acer 6935G Core Duo 8400, with a GeForce 9600 GT and 4 Gb of Ram. Is it just incompatible with Ubuntu or is there anything else I can try? Thank you in advance for your time and input. (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Mounting failure? 6 weeks 3 days ago

When I try to start up ubuntu (10.04) I get this message.

Ubuntu partition does not boot. This started after a power interruption during system boot.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS would not boot 29 weeks 20 hours ago

I'm not sure what to do to solve the problem, I received this error upon boot.

mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/f60e3ce2-0237-45bb-bf07-581d0090cbc7 on /root failed: Invalid argument mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory Target fi

I'm looking for a way to have a bootable USB that launches Linux and has all my files and programs like it was when i used it on the last computer.

I have run into a few problems just installing Linux on a pen-drive. Like Hangs up at a purple screen after launching on a different computer.

Hello everybody,

I have a problem. I couldn't mount my ubuntu partition, my windows partition is working ok.

I get this problem even in recovery mode, even with older versions of Ubuntu that are still in the Grub menu (latest is Maverick). I ran the default repair of the Boot Repair, to no avail.

This is what comes up on boot:

Code: ...[sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto real locate failed ...mount: mounting /dev/disk/bu-uuid/d818....

I get this problem even in recovery mode, even with older versions of Ubuntu that are still in the Grub menu. I ran the default repair of the Boot Disk Repair (as recommended in this question), to no avail. This Pastebin shows my configuration.

How can I get my Ubuntu to boot?

...[sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto real locate failed ...mount: mounting /dev/disk/bu-uuid/d818....

I have tried and tried and tried and finally tired of doing this. I have bought new harddisk and installed Ubuntu in that . All file systems are mounted except one.

so again i have made new partition table.But again another partition not mounted.

so i have opened disk utility and copied error message i got while doing Mounting from There .
