Installation issues

Question

I've had some issues when installing the newest version of Elementary OS Freya (0.3.2). The installation and partitioning work as expected, and show no errors. Upon rebooting the system gives me a grub-like interface, saying BusyBox and "initramfs".

I've tried reinstalling many times, both with and without UEFI. I've tried both partitioning myself, and letting the installation program do it. I've tried running boot repair, through a live-cd. I've tried installing several other distros, in the exact same way, and all of those work like they're supposed to.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

3) you will get some error don't panic wait untill you are able to type something

4) type exit and press enter

5) here you go you are at graphical installation

Answer 2

I had the same problem a while back and I fixed it by installing Ubuntu first and then booting up the elementary os live cd and choosing 'erase Ubuntu and reinstall' during installation. Not sure if it'll help but it's worth a shot.
