After that I'm getting :
Busy Box v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5 Ubuntu 12) Built-in Shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built in commands (initramfs) _

before I get this error, I get the message:
ACPI: BIOS age (1997) fails cutoff (2000), acpi=force is required to enable ACPI
ACPI: Disabling ACPI support
Does this mean I cannot Ubuntu on my old machine..?
Thanks

Install Ubuntu using the alternative cd and then edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst
Some thing may be slightly different. Don't change them. Just append the acpi=force at the end of the third record.
If that causes you some problems, you may have to add the
at the end of the same line, furthmore.
