right now this thread is showing up via go ogle so people will find it if they have similar issues and they can maybe sort it out. what i would do for grins is unplug the devices other than the SSD and the installation media and then do a base system (simple install - not expert) and see what the installer does detect and writes in the fstab and grub menu (it may even boot). you may then use those things in the previously installed grub and fstab files (for the system which boots and runs but does not mount the SSD). if you do this report the contents of the fstab and the grub.cfg > Especially as I do not > have the bandwidth to do a netinstall of a pre-release version? that's really unfortunate. songbird
