I had a similar, or should I say I encountered the same problem after I could not install off an external USB CD.
I created a USB flash disk with atvusb-creator to create the ATV- bootloader. I was successful in using the ATV-bootloader to boot into linux off CD ( Ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386.iso ). Once in Linux I tried to install, but extremely slow, my install would lock up after a while. Tried multiple times. Tried to use a USB flash disk to install from, but kept looking for the CD. I went back to using the CD, and I tried using creating a swap file for virtual memory on the USB flash that got farther, but screen went bezerk at the portion of the Disk Partition. (for some reason, ubuntu off CD max screen resolution is 720x480, ideas on how to change this?) Tried installing the only-ubiquity option on the CD boot so would go directly into install. That is the farthest I got, but still failed (screen OK, but seemed locked up) at the Disk Partition point of the install. Any suggestions? -cris On Apr 14, 2009, at 2:37 PM, G & T wrote: > > I have followed he steps to boot from flash disk rather than CDROM > (instructions from: Do I really need a USB CD/DVD drive - > http://code.google.com/p/atv-bootloader/wiki/BootingLiveCD) > I am trying to get ubuntu 8.4 to load from the flash disk and not the > CDROM.
