[Bug 543875] Re: unable to find a medium containing a live file system

[XriX]

My problem was Backtrack5 R3 (KDE & Knome X32(Both)) was dooing the same
thing...."(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file
system."

turns out it was because (yes looking back I know it was stupid) 
My Bootloader (YUMI & EadyBDC was NOT recognizing my Intel Raid Storage Driver.... Specs aside I ended up using UNetbootin.....and holy shit it found my storage driver....booted into Backtrack 5R3 in KDE and Gnome Versions no problem. 

Point being, If you have a problem booting into this via USB and have a
3rd party Storage driver installed (or Intel Raid/MB Raid driver
installed) Try Unetbootin....  http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

By the way I am not running RAID, I just have the driver Installed... so
I get the CTRL+I prompt EveryBoot to Setup RAID.

Intel Pentium D 3.0Ghz CPU
Intel D945GPM Motherboard ( Bios NT94510J.86A        -     4131.EB)
2 GB DDR2 667Mhz (2x1GB sticks)

*Intel ICH7R/DH SATA RAID CONTROLLER*

WD640 (WD6401AALS)
Seagate 80GB (ST380815AS)
WD 250GB (WD2500YS)

thought I would share my problem... By the way it also did this with
Trinity Rescue The newest to date

  unable to find a medium containing a live file system

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When trying to boot Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 64bit on the Primary Slave IDE CD-ROM drive it fails with the message:
  stdin: error 0 (repeated over 25 times)

  If I switch my CD-ROM drive over to Primary Master IDE then it will
  boot no problem.

  I'm not using any of the other IDE ports, my HD is SATA.

  Problem still exists in Natty.
