I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04.1 64bit on a MSI GT70 ONC. I have a problem when I install it. I get an error(dev/... something missing I think) I'm then put into a screen that is like the terminal. I know I'm not installing the server version.

I have tried re-downloading and installing the 12.04.1 64bit by putting it on a CD. It works when I run it in virtualbox in windows.

error:

udevd[149]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/dm-1, 10) failed: No such file or directory

Gave up waiting for root device, Common problems:
  - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
    - Check rootdelay (did the system wait long engough?)
    - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)           
  - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; is /dev)
