Running Ubuntu on ZenFone 2

[troy5890]

Hey guys

I decided that since I am rooted, I have always wanted to see how Ubuntu would perform with are Intel atom processors. So I started out small and I am trying to boot a Core image of Ubuntu on the device. This is a screenshot of what I keep receiving when I try to boot Ubuntu. I was wondering what I did wrong in this process? If anyone can inform me of what I did wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.

I know that the ZenFone supports loop device. But I just don't understand why it is not working

My goal is to get Arch running natively and likely start with a minimal WM and then rebuild the interface from the ground up (ground up is what Arch is known for ) so that I can basically run a full computer OS on it Hoping with the Intel SOC I'll get decent driver compatibility, may even work OOTB Hopefully others will want to join me and it could be a whole new mobile Linux distro based on Arch!

Reinstall Busybox

I had the same problem, I reinstalled a more recent/compatible version with a busybox installer found on market.
When you type busybox command in terminal, you see all available applets. Is "mount" in the list?

Yes I have installed Busybox

I'm not sure which method you used, but I got it working like this.
