I installed MeeGo netbook UX 1.1 on it. When I rebooted the system the kernel panicked. On further investigation we realised that the installer had detected the HDD as /dev/sdb and had also written the same device name to /etc/fstab and /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf. This is obviously wrong. Although while installing the USB drive is mounted as /dev/sda the installer should still have the intelligence to figure out that when booting normally the HDD will be called /dev/sda. Here is the interesting part: the same image installs perfectly fine on other netbooks. So I thought that maybe its a BIOS device priority issue, but then i tried installing netbook UX 1.0 and this installed and booted fine! The difference between these 2 was the kernel. Now can someone tell me how anaconda, the underlying installer, detects priority of devices and whether the BIOS has any role to play in this. I read up on it and saw that devices.map fills up based on what the BIOS tells it, but I did not understand it fully. -- Debayan Banerjee Software Engineer _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list MeeGo-community@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list MeeGo-community@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community
