I get this frequently and I just press Crtl-Alt-Del to reboot. It runs fine second time. I am booting from a pen-drive.

Hi there, thanks a lot for that. I read somewhere else that my iso copy of Ubuntu could be corrupted so I made a new copy downloaded from another computer and run it again on the problematic one from the cd unit. It worked!

Hi there Epsi…I haven’t heard of this happening during the install process…have you completely wiped the drive clean and started fresh?

Here’s a link to Ubuntu Forums where they were having the same or similar issues. Give it a try.

Ah, sorry, forgot to mention I am runnimg Ubuntu from CD and as I choose to install it the black screen comes in with the initramfs Prompt Boot issue featured above.

Not much knowledge of Linux or computers either…

Hi there. I have the same issue after having passed DBAN to wipe hardrive. So I don’t have the alternative of going to Windows. There seems to be no partitions either. Any idea on what to do?

Many thanks
