This may be related to bug 1223195 .  There is a fix coming for that bug
shortly, which we can have you test.

@Phil, just to confirm, you don't hit this issue if you upgrade from
Raring to Saucy?  It only happens for a fresh Saucy install, or when you
boot a Saucy LiveCD?

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.
