Hi Daniel,

Can you try a few other things?

1.  After the system drops to the BusyBox prompt, wait about 30s then enter CTRL-D to see if it boots.
2.  Are there any messages on the console before the system drops to the BusyBox prompt?  If so, can you capture a digial image if the messages/text?
3.  Can you see if this issue also happens in the case of an upgrade?  So install Raring, then upgrade to Saucy and see if the bug still exists.  If it does, we can then try to narrow down the specific package that is causing this by re-installing Raring again, then upgrading individual packages like the kernel, udev, etc.

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.
