My computer has the following specs:

  • HP 210 mini
  • Intel Atom 1.6 GHz CPU
  • Crucial MX100 256GB SSD
  • 2GB RAM

After installing Ubuntu 15.10, the system displays grub bootloader. After selecting the boot option, the ACPI PCC error and boots to the initramfs command line. It does not matter what I select. Windows 10 was previously installed. I wiped out the existing partitions and created a single ext4 partition without a swap file. I've read everything about optimizing an SSD after installation, making sure that TRIM is working, etc.

Am I missing something? I've read through the other thread (installing Ubuntu on an SSD) which is geared more towards post-installation optimization of the filesystem for an SSD.

This BusyBox screen appears after the grub boot menu:

First I attempted to mount the filesystem from the live installer:

sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt  
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,   
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

I installed Boot-Repair and ran the utility. Here's the pastebin link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15552199/

What media are you installing from, USB or CD/DVD?

Also, you could try to use grub-repair from the live usb/disc. When booted, install grub-repair $ sudo apt-get install grub-repair Then you can run it with the command $ grub-repair Then click automatically fix.

If that does not work, there might be a problem with the bootloader. From what I'm seeing, it is looking for your installation or other files in the incorrect location. I have the same setup, no SWAP, SSD, but I have Xubuntu. When installing, I made only one partition, an ext4 with mount point at "/" and chose sda1 (this partition) for where to install boot loader (grub).

I've never seen this error before but I think it's saying it cannot find your hard drive. But then seemingly loads ititramfs from it? Idk, try the possible solutions above and get back to me.
