The drive is a 500GB SATA Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002-1BD14 KC45 PQ
I have a similarly configured 500GB Western Digital SATA which will
also get stuck on the extended partition if I unplug the Seagate and
boot with just the WD as the /dev/sda drive.
I installed a Sabayon DAILY XFCE (Sabayon_Linux_DAILY_amd64_Xfce.iso
dated May 27) during the pre-S9 testing period from the same USB, and
didn't have problems. At that time, the /dev/sda drive was new and
un-partitioned, but the /dev/sdb drive was my Western Digital that is
now failing to boot the S9 USB final.
I will re-install Sabayon_Linux_DAILY_amd64_Xfce.iso from May 27th to
confirm it can still boot in this configuration or not, and that may
give us a partial bisect on this issue.
Hi guys
I've the same problem . (Daily_CoreCDX-64, XFCE-64-20120624 build ,
