I think that usually means that your grub+initrd combo is broken somewhere. Post your configs?
There are no configs. I am trying to do a fresh install. There are no Grub configs...yet. I just downloaded the 2009.08 netinst ISO and burned it to a CDROM. The error you see is when I boot from the CDROM.
Try the ISOLINUX ISO and see if that boots. Your machine might not like booting from a CD via GRUB.
Maybe I should add here that the problem is that the link /dev/archiso which points to the CD/DVD drive is not created by a udev rule. Executing `udevadm trigger` at the ramfs$ prompt creates this link, which should be created automatically. Executing `exit` at the ramfs$ prompt after that continues booting. So I don't think that this has anything to do with the grub+initrd combo. I guess it has something to do with udev, some hooks or the kernel modules. Heiko
