This bug goes away for me with a more recent dev build (broth devel rev 239). Needs more testing of course, but this bug may be closeable unless others find it recurring.
-- grub2 boot fail after HD install (eee, w500) - syslinux works though https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of puredyne team, which is the registrant for Puredyne Live. Status in Puredyne liveCD/DVD/USB/HD: Confirmed Bug description: (discussed on mailing list) two users (me on Eee 701, alejo on W500) have installed from a working live USB and found that the resulting install fails to boot but drops to a "grub>" prompt. If I change the bootloader from grub to syslinux (patch below) then it seems to work great on my Eee. I don't understand the cause of the grub issue, but the syslinux solution seems to suggest that live-helper is presumably getting something wrong with the grub setup. I presume grub would be preferred to syslinux ideally? Note the grub problem happens for me whether I use an official ISO or one I've built at home. And it doesn't happen for everyone since apparently craftivism was installed happily on machines at the workshop. === modified file 'broth.sh' --- broth.sh 2009-11-20 22:00:46 +0000 +++ broth.sh 2009-12-14 22:55:07 +0000 @@ -54,6 +54,7 @@ --mirror-binary-security "http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"; \ --binary-indices disabled \ --bootappend-live "persistent" \ + --bootloader "syslinux" \ --hostname "puredyne" \ --iso-application "Puredyne" \ --iso-preparer "live-helper $VERSION" \ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
