(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
I have verified the disk i created is valid and used it to install on my laptop.
However, now i am trying to install on a brand new system:
GIGABYTE GA-770TA-UD3 AM3 AMD 770 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor
Western Digital WD15EARS Hardrive
After several failed attempts to install Ubuntu I installed windows XP with no problem.
I have seen several posts about re-aligning this model of hard drive for the 4k blocks.

May 3, 2011I have a 4 core Sandy Bridge Win7-64 system running Parallels Desktop 4. I created a new VM with a CDROM connected to the 11.04 ISO. It perks for a little while showing some Ubuntu stuff then I get the console message "(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system".I don't get this. It is obviously booting from the CDROM. I'm guessing it does not like the unformatted disk. Why doesn't it offer to format the disk of start the installation prcess? Is it something else?

Aug 9, 2011Background info: So I installed 11.04 32 bit and it messed my computer up therefore after trying everything I got rid of it, now I've been trying to install the 10.04 long support version from the official ubuntu website and it doesn't seem to be working. Neither the 32 bit version or the 64 bit. To convert the iso etc. etc. I used "Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.6.0" which is reccommended from the ubuntu website and it didn't work. So I tried "unetbootin-win-549" which a friend recommended to me - didn't work either.
Main problem: The menu loads up when I turn on the computer and whether I click on the install ubuntu, or try ubuntu from usb option - both go to the ubuntu screen where the dot's under "ubuntu" flash for about 2 minutes before taking me to a screen where the following message appears: Code: (initframs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system And after about 5 seconds intervals, messages similar to this appear for about 7 or 8 times:
Code: usb 1-3: device not accepting address 7. error -110 new high speed usb device using ehci_hcd and address 8 Each time they appear the parts which differ is the numbers from the text above i.e. usb 2-3....
General :: Ubuntu 11.04 - Unable To Find Medium Containing Live File System
Jul 13, 2011I'm new to this and I'm sure I've just gone and done something silly. I used pendrivelinux.com's live usb creator to install ubantu 11.04 on my USB. I tried booting my laptop with this, and i get an error message saying "unable to find a medium containing live file system" and I cant get any further than that. The laptop I am using is a Dell XPS with an i7 processor and 6 gigs of memory.

Aug 15, 2010I cannot install Kubuntu (or Unbuntu) 10.4 on my husband's computer. I have spent 5 hours on this and cannot get anywhere. I am deeply frustrated. The iso I burned to CD is good (works on 2 other computers). His computer will not boot from USB, no matter what I do to the drive order in BIOS. After loading the blue screen with the Kubuntu logo on it (and the blue-white dots), the screen changes to black and shows the following text:

He really needs to get rid of WinXP. Kubuntu is what I have on my computer (and love it!). Here is some info about his computer:

View 9 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: No CD Block Device From LiveCD, Then "unable To Find A Medium Containing A Live File"?
Sep 12, 2010the message on the title only happens with Ubuntu. In Fedora, it just stops booting from LiveCD with "WARNING: Cannot find root file system!". The rest of the symptoms are the same.I'm trying to install Fedora LiveCD on an IBM i Series notebook (model 1161-21X). It's a Celeron powered unit with RAM expanded to 512MB. It has a 10GB HDD, and an internal CD-ROM drive. Although it has two USB ports (1.1), it cannot boot from a USB drive, so no pendrive nor external CD unit solution possible.When I boot from LiveCD, it stops booting with the message above. Looking atsg, there's no CD-ROM driver loaded. Also, there's a char device for sg0, but no block device for it, so no way to mount it. It seems that the driver module has been removed from the kernel. I'm currently running Fedora Core 5 in it. This very same problem happens with any Ubuntu newer that 6 or any Fedora post 7.

Software :: Creating Custom Live CD - Unable To Find Medium
Feb 16, 2011I am trying to create a custom Ubuntu live CD according to this guide [URL]. First of all I wanted to test how mkisofs utility works so I copied the content of the live CD to /tmp/bootcd directory and create an ISO image. I ran the following commands
Code:
sudo rsync -av /media/CDROM/* /tmp/bootcd/
cd /tmp/bootcd
sudo mkisofs -r -V "Ubuntu9.10" -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o ../ubuntu-9.10.iso .
If I understand it correctly, the same image as the source one should be created. When booting the Ubuntu boot menu appears and I choose "Try Ubuntu without installing.." It gets stuck after a while with this message "Unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem".

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Find Medium With Live Filesystem
Apr 24, 2010I'm trying to install netbook remix on my out-of-the-box 1005PE with windows 7. I used LinuxLive USB Creator 2.4 to put the netbook remix file onto my usb device. I get to the part where I choose whether I want persistent mode, live mode, installation or a few other options. I chose installation. Here is what I see on my screen starting a little before where I think the error is:

Done.
Done.

Jul 7, 2011I recently got a new MBP 8,2 and am trying to install Ubuntu (to a separate partition, but I don't think that matters as I am unable to get that far).I have installed rEFIt and can successfully get to the installation menu from any CD I've tried so far.However, after trying to install Ubuntu, it is unable to find any disk in the CD/DVD drive.This doesn't make much sense, the DVD is, in fact, in the drive and it must have read from the drive to display the menu.I have tried a number of different options with the alternative installs to no avail.I have also tried different distributions:11.04 AMD-64 alternate, 11.04 AMD-64 live, 11.04 AMD-64 alternate+mac, and 10.04 AMD-64 live.I have also tried to make a USB install but was unable to get it to display as a bootable device

Aug 1, 2010Just purchased a new Mac book (white) Uni-body Model ID 7.1
Intel 2.4 GHz Core Duo
Mac OS X 10.6.4
4Gb Ram (upgraded)
Hitachi 500Gb 7200 RPM (Upgraded)
Installed r-EFIt and then ran disk utility created 3 partitions one for Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and two for Ubuntu 10.04 the windows install went smooth was able to boot into either OS without any problems then tried installing Ubuntu and then would get errors using the Live CD that I created I burned two additional disks at slower speeds then tried one of them in a another PC and it would work even ran it in live CD mode now have my taste buds wet want to use it on my Mac Book.
When I tried to install on the Mac Book it would fail with error no device found to install it would not even get to select the language with internal DVD drive so I hooked up a usb drive and would get up to step 4 to where you select the partition to install Ubuntu on this is where it gets to the problem it was blank no internal drive was able to get to Gparted in Live mode and same thing the hard drive would not show up.
I booted back into MAC OS X and ran disk utility it shows the partitions. A additional I tried the option to turn off ACPI before running installer still could not find the hard drive also downloaded a live gparted and same result could not see the HDD.
Fedora Installation :: Installing Live CD - Message - Cannot Find Root File System ?
Jan 30, 2010I have a LiveCD (DVD with many linux versions on it) and no other software on my computer at the moment. The computer specs are as follow:
When I use the live cd I get the following message: Cannot find root file system
I have tried the suggestion along the lines of:
Then it either goes back to Bash or I get "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init"
Then my install just freezes there and I need to restart my computer.
OpenSUSE Install :: Running 11.3 Live System On MacBook Air?
Jul 26, 2010I am too stupid to run a live Linux on a Macbook air. I used both, an openSUSE 11.3-KDE Live-CD and a Live-USB key and tried several boot options.
(i) I held down "C" to boot from CD → didn't work. It's an Apple CD drive but came with an older Macbook air a few years ago.
(ii) Found the bootmenu by holding down the option (ALT) key. Neither Live-CD nor Live-USB were shown. You can only choose the harddrive (and available wireless networks).
(iii) "Command-Shift-Option-Delete" to boot from an external drive didn't work either. I assume my USB key is an external drive, right?
I don't want to install openSUSE on the mac I just want to run a live system from time to time. Therefore I want to bypass Boot Camp or rEFIt and that's probably why I am stuck here. I wonder, if I really have to setup one of them to boot into a live system? The wiki article "openSUSE on a Mac" is under review right now.
Apple :: Unable To Boot Mac After Trying Out Ubuntu Live Cd / Sort It?
Jun 12, 2010I have a serious problem! I downloaded and burnt Ubuntu 10.04 and then chose it as start up volume in Snow Leopard's start up disk preference dialogue and although Ubuntu runs successfully from the cd (I'm typing from it now) I can no longer boot into OS X at all.
I have tried all of the different short cuts at boot up to no avail, even trying 2 keyboards. It insists on looking for the Ubuntu disk and if it is not in the drive comes up with an error message stating that a system disk cannot be found.
Is there any kind of tool on Ubuntu that will let me change the start up disc/interact with the Mac's efi settings? I previously had refit installed but this disappeared just before I booted the cd, is it worth using the live cd?
I tried booting from a Tiger dvd but it wouldn't let me do so, it just returned me to the ominous "System disk not found" message.
Does anyone have any kind of idea? Perhaps some kind of shell script that will reinstall refit? I'm guessing that any kind of dvd designed for PC will prob boot, any kind of OS X recovery disk compatible with MBR available?
Ubuntu :: Alternative Install Remix Instead Of Live Medium
Dec 15, 2010Is it possible to create an Ubuntu remix that uses the alternative installer instead of being a Live medium (or in addition to being a live medium). If it is possible, how would one going about doing this? I've been using remastersys but that only allows for Live CDs.

Feb 23, 2011heres what happenned:
1. had working xp install on 320 gb hard disk with only one partition.
2. backed up and used easeus to shrink and create new partition on same hard drive.
3. tried to install from a working live cd but got medium not found error.
4. looked for fix but didnt find it so i used wubi to install it to the partition i created.
5. worked but annoyingly slow so looked for guide to switch from wubi to full install.
6. followed guide and it installed to a new partition i made with gparted and it formatted that one to ext4 but i still had the wubi install which i didnt want. (btw, non-wubi is much > wubi install).
7. went to xp to uninstall wubi, delete wubi partition, and grow full ubuntu install partition with easeus. easeus requires reboot.
8. restart comp to find an error that said no partition found and something else about grub rescue.
9. try live cds but hard drive not detected and tried win7 and xp but they didnt even get into setup
10. make plan: get bro to format my hardd disk using his compyter so i csn try ubuntu onw more time
i got a bunch of different types of errors but im really close to giving up on it entirely.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Unable To Find Media With Live Disk Image
Jun 27, 2010I am having trouble both installing or even just booting the live CD. I have to interrupt the boot to give the nomodeset boot option.
Once I get the Ubuntu splash with the oscillating red and white dots for several moments, I get the Busybox with the error message "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
If I do a dmesg I then see a lot of sr0 errors. I have an onboard SCSI controller but no scsi devices. I am not sure if this matters.

CD works fine on my Dell, that's why I say it's verified.
