Machine: Eee PC 900A Processor: Atom 1.6 Ghz Memory: 1 gig Partitions: <df -Tl will do; the raw partition table is preferred> Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): not available Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [ O] Detect network card: [ O] Configure network: [ O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ O] Detect hard drives: [ O] Partition hard drives: [ O] Install base system: [ O] Clock/timezone setup: [ O] User/password setup: [ O] Install tasks: [ O] Install boot loader: [E sdb Overall install: [ E] Comments/Problems: There is no CD drive on the Eee PC, so I had to install from a USB stick. There are only two drives: the USB stick showed up as /dev/sda, and the internal flash drive of the Eee PC showed up as /dev/sdb. I selected sdb to install to, and told grub to install to sdb also. When I reboot without the USB key inserted the system is still configured for sdb, but the internal drive is now called sda! When the computer enters the grub menu, I have to hit 'e' to edit the boot commands, and change hd1 to hd0. The entries in /etc/fstab still say sdb, and there may be places where sdb is still present for all I know. I'm unable to boot, but after a long wait I get thrown to an initramfs prompt. From there I can mount /dev/sda1 without problems. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
