Resolved: “(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system” while installing Ubuntu from a USB device
Like I mentioned in a previous post I am working on installing an Ubuntu machine in order to do some GPU mining (this time around Ethereum) and now I am running into more issues. When booting up from the USB in order to perform the installation I am getting the following error message:
Resolved: “(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file system” while installing Ubuntu from a USB device
after much digging it seems to be related to the USB issue referred to in (</linux/ubuntu/resolved-usb-keyboard-stops-working-ubuntu-installation-language-selection/>).
Solution
The solution is to use USB 3.0 ports only. So what I had to do is sacrifice the mouse (I only have 2 USB 3.0 ports available) and proceeded to have the keyboard and USB drive connected so I could proceed with the installation. To my surprise that did the trick!
