I have also tried to separete the boot partition in ext2 since fat32 is
not allowed but nothing. Magenta screen hangs and if I hold shift during
boot I can see GRUB LOADING on the screen and nothing happens.
I have also tried what someone suggested here
http://askubuntu.com/questions/87409/i-cant-get-grub-menu-to-show-up-
during-boot unsuccessfully.
** Package changed: ubuntu = grub2 (Ubuntu)
** No longer affects: grub
** Summary changed:
- Ubuntu 13.10 does not boot from USB drive formatted in ext4
+ Ubuntu 13.10 does not boot from USB stick 3.0
** Description changed:
I have tried to perform a normal installation of ubuntu 13.10 on a
- usb3.0 drive sandisk 16Gb, formatted ext4.
+ usb3.0 stick sandisk 16Gb, formatted ext4.
I do not how to provide you more information since grub does not even
start and a violet screen hangs. I was suspecting a corruption of the
usb mbr and I have tried updating directly the grub the I have on the
hard disk used by ubuntu 13.04 and windows 7 with the key plugged in but
again just violet screen and everything hangs.
If I create a live usb in fat32 I do not have any problem. Could you
please verify if there is a bug in ext4?
Before on the same usb I had Ubuntu 13.04 but in UEFI mode since I was
using a netbook UEFI. Now for sure I have a bios legacy and for this
reason I have removed everything to reinstall ubuntu 13.10 in the mbr.
The usb key has been formatted in gparted recreating again the partition
table in msdos as follow:
