Tested. That saucy kernel works fine (in raring).

Booting from the latest live images fails, as does selecting Install
Ubuntu from the same images. Both get stuck in the BusyBox shell.

Double-checked that the saucy image does indeed work in a different
machine. Just not on the Optiplex 990.

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
