Hi Danny, Are you installing the image in a VM or on a real hardware? The purpose of the patch was only for VM, not for real hardware.
On a real hardware, the patch will not have any effect since the USB-stick should be "removable" anyway. Which version of MIC did you use? The usb script in common-yum has been changed after the 0.47 release (why??) In the 0.47 version, the "removable" check for moblin2 was already removed, now it seems to be back ... Thus, could you please try it with the original 0.47 MIC? Regards, Marcel -----Original Message----- From: Varner, Danny Sent: Freitag, 24.

I created an Install USB image for an older eeePC but received the same loop during install. Afterwards, I applied the patch in Bug135 to the usb file but this did not fix it. I now receive the error /dev/sda does not contain a rootfs /dev/sdb does not contain a rootfs /dev/sdc does not contain a rootfs /dev/sdd does not contain a rootfs Any ideas?

Most of the moblin1 platforms use still the "old" usb script. Moblin Bugzilla Bug 135 has been created recently to describe this issue. I can add a comment and suggest how to solve this.

Suggest we track this if it is a real issue.

With a little modification it works :) Posting them here for the archives. If [ 1 -eq 1 ]; then If [ 1 -eq 1 ]; then Shell script needed the whitespaces after the '[' .
