Daniel van Vugt, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/optiplex-990
an update is available for your BIOS (A17). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  saucy daily-live images are unbootable on Dell Optiplex 990; stuck in
  BusyBox shell

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  saucy daily-live images are unbootable on Dell Optiplex 990. I just get a BusyBox shell.
  I have tried the latest live images for the past few days without any luck. And the bug persists regardless of which graphics card (or none) I have in.

  Tried at least:
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130814/
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130815/

  and the Optiplex 990 cannot boot them.

  Interestingly, the same USB images do boot successfully on a Thinkpad X220.
