I see nobody will help. I have exactly the same problem. The trial worked fine, and now when i boot, i get a nice feather screen, and then, incomprehensible.  Is there any help?

This seems like to different problems.
First, I have seen Busybox before but on rooted Android devices, I have no clue why this installed on Linux Lite, maybe a Linux guru could help here. *poke* *poke*

Second, what is the Linux Lite version you are trying to install (and if applicable, is it 32 or 64 bits). I have seen this kind of request before, personnaly, when having trouble with a new installation and boot devices, etc., there was some remenant of previous installation(s) on the HDD. Everytime, I solved the the issue by wiping the HDD with a "nuke/wipe" HDD utility and then when reinstalling, worked like a charm.

Hope this help!

I didn't think LL 3.8 was supported anymore. If you need a 32-bit OS, I think older versions of Debian still support it, but starting with Bullseye (Debian 11), even Debian has dropped 32-bit architecture.

Thanks, both. I finally have 3.8 running for now. Since it's to be just a limited use controller, sort of a super-arduino, it'll do for a time...
