I've been attempting to install the 20080907 image to an SD card in the
internal SD slot of my 4G. I noted the comment on the wiki and read the
referenced thread about SD card issues, but I've had no other issues with the
SD card reader under normal Xandros operations, and I have a late BIOS (0901.)
In any event, here's what is happening to me:
No problems copying the IMG to a USB stick and booting it. If I boot with an SD
card in the internal reader (any card) the installation appears to hang before
the first 'choose language' dialog, If I pop out the card the installation
proceeds normally, but as soon as I insert the SD card the installation appears
to hang and the alt console displays "end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector
7812088" among other messages.
I get this problem with all of the SD cards I have tested, and I get it
whether I'm booting on battery power or plugged in.
If I wait long enough (several minutes) the installation picks up after each
apparant hang, but each hardware detection (including network interface
detection) takes several minutes to get through and, utimately, when I finally
get to the partitioner, it does not find the SD card, only the boot stick and
the internal flash drive!
If I attempt a stick-to stick installation, by-passing the internal card
reader, no issues.
I'd really like to try debian on the eeepc, and I's really like to install it
on and boot it off the internal card reader. Suggestions welcome.
