I downloaded 12.04.1 and md5 sum checked them and everything is good.

Made a live usb and booted up...

Just gets to where its about to start with the purple ubuntu loading screen then it goes back to text and gives this message:

BusyBox v1.18.5 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5-1ubuntu4) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on ///filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs

This happens in the live option, or persistent even the file checking one doesn't work

Also I've tried a few different F6 options to no avail.

I used 'LiLi USB creator' and 'unetbootin' and also 'Universal USB Installer,' all with the same results. I've also tried using a VM and it showed the same. That is when I figured I had a corrupt .iso so I downloaded it again checked the MD5: e235b63c02644e219b7bf3668f479c9e. Only I'm having the same problem.

I'm just about ready to give up on 12.04.1 and just go back to 10.04 utill the next LTS comes out.

I've got a dell mini 10 btw.

Thanks for your time.

Your computer may not have enough RAM to use the Desktop CD. Try installing with the Alternate CD

Also you might want to double check the CD image has downloaded properly:

Unable to mount /dev/loop0 during install

  • It downloaded right and I've got 2GB of ram, I think that should be enough.

  • I know, I usually just look at what other people did for the same problem. This is the first time I couldn't find a solution from the forums.
