On N270/Diamondavilla platform, we can't reproduce your issue. In addition, where do u got the image? I am assuming you are using Moblin Alpha1 release image, right? -----Original Message----- From: Vikas Gupta, Noida [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 2009年2月16日 12:12 To: Wang, Jing J; Arjan van de Ven; Wan, Shuang Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Moblin Dev] Help Needed in doing an Moblin InstallimageofSandisk PATA HDD Please help. -----Original Message----- From: Vikas Gupta, Noida Sent: Friday, February 13, 2009 12:11 PM To: 'Wang, Jing J'; Arjan van de Ven; Wan, Shuang Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Moblin Dev] Help Needed in doing an Moblin InstallimageofSandisk PATA HDD Hi Wang, Yes we are using that, and it has only one HDD with no SSD inside platform.

Platform information. Which kind of netbook are you using? 2. After installation and remove LiveUSB, what's the grub menu when booting from HDD directly? 3. MIC2 version you are using?

But now I am facing another strange behavior. My Installation is not able to boot by itself from the installed HDD, but it requires initial sport from the USB live image. To describe it better here are the steps summary: While booting Moblin Linux from the PATA Hard disk. The Moblin Linux installation on PATA HDD is successful, but after installation, it requires USB-live image support to initially boot and then transfer the control to PATA HDD through boot select menu. Listed below are the steps which were performed a. The Platform has USB drive (having a live image as primary boot device) as boot partition and PATA as secondary disk. b. The system is booted from the USB drive c. From Moblin boot image menu, boot (default) option is selected. d. Booted the platform with live image e. Installed the live image to the PATA HDD through the Moblin installer utility f. The PATA HDD contents were checked by mounting the drive. g. The grub configuration was changed to boot it in echo mode h. In the grub configuration we added rootwait and root_delay=5 i. Then we rebooted the system with USB drive (having a live image) as primary boot device j. As it reaches up to boot menu, the USB drive was removed and “Boot from Local Disk” option is selected. This was done to ensure that the system boots from the HDD (as it is the only medium available). k. The system booted up fine. l. Verification is done by checking the mount points, in case of PATA HDD the mount points are: i. /dev/sda1 /boot ii. /dev/sda2 / When the system is rebooted again without the USB drive it boots till the Kernel selection page, but after that it hangs there. Digging the image isolinux configuration, we found that “Boot from local disk“ option does the following - localboot 0xffff , i.e. it raises a INT18 interrupt to boot from the next device. Our understanding is installation might not be able to find a bootable partition, but trying to make the /dev/sda1 partition bootable results in an error - “Syslinux: unable to find any valid fat file system on /dev/sda1” Any suggestion or pointers to resolve this issue will be of great help.

If you really do a successful installation from Live USB to HDD, the grub item on HDD should be "root=/dev/sda2". I guess you made a mistake when choosing target disk in process of installation. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vikas Gupta, Noida Sent: 2009年2月12日 15:09 To: Arjan van de Ven; Wan, Shuang Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Moblin Dev] Help Needed in doing an Moblin Install image ofSandisk PATA HDD Hi, Thanks for all your help. With your help and some browsing over net, I tasted some success. Here is what I got: 1) I used a live image to boot my system which has a 1.8" PATA HDD connected to it. 2) With live usb image, the system boots fine and after which I used Moblin installer GUI utility to install the image on the PATA HDD. 3) It got installed properly, then after that I rebooted the system and from the boot option menu, I selected boot from local hard drive, It booted nicely from the HDD, I have seen the content and verified that it booted from the local drive. 4) But when I removed the live image usb and then if I try to boot from local drive, the kernel booting simply hung, without displaying any message. I even used root_delay=5 also but it doesn't seem to solve my problem. What could be the possible reason of kernel booting from the stand alone HDD, while it was able to boot from the same HDD in presence of the live image USB. Is it something to do with BIOS?
