I was following the guide at:

http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html

I changed the BIOS to show the boot menu and selected the 14.04 installation USB drive.

Next, when prompted, I selected, "Try Ubuntu without installing"

This brings me to a screen displaying:

BusyBox v1.21.1 etc. finishing in a mount failure

failed: No such device

Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs

Any ideas why Ubuntu will not run?

  • Thanks Karel, I totally missed that. Unfortunately, the update seems to be the same content and steps, (I think he is trying to monetise his earlier guide!). I finally fluked it. I was using universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3 to create the boot** usb stick. The default persistant storage is 0MB. I increased it to 1GB and the device booted. – SeanJ Jan 06 '15 at 15:42

  • Much obliged, thanks Karel. This is resolved as far as I am concerned. – SeanJ Jan 07 '15 at 13:29

I was using universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3 to create the boot usb stick.

The default persistent storage on the app is 0MB. I increased it to 1.1GB and Ubuntu live booted off the USB device.

  • As Karel gave you the input you needed, it would have been polite to ask him if he'd want to answer the question before you did... (you still can! ;-) ) – Fabby Jan 07 '15 at 15:08
