When it happened, was the bootloader also written to the internal drive
Nio:
I know it successfully wrote the GRUB-PC bootloader to the hard-drive of the machine being installed-to, because that system worked fine, and the new system is the one that is initially selected in the GRUB menu (it used to be a different system).
Whatever happened to the USB drive must have been an error or a side-effect.
Doing the install with persistent space on the USB drive was initially very slow, since it appears to re-build the kernel (in this case with a special nvidia driver), and the I/O on the USB drive is much slower than hard-disk or RAM-disk.
I first thought it was the result of an I/O error, since the EXT2 file-system built in the persistent space is not a journaling file system (such as EXT3 or EXT4). Yet I had no cases where I had to power down the machine I was using it on, and I always brought it down cleanly.
So I re-built the USB drive, which again worked fine, but went bad again after I finally used it to install.
The same problem happening twice is less likely to be a rare I/O error. -- Sincerely, Aere -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
