I thought I was going to report back that everything went well. However… I wonder whether you can spot where I have gone wrong and advise on what to do, please? I got an 8Gb CF to use in place of the 2Gb and everything went swimmingly, things seemed to install fine until I was asked to

When I setup my system, I received my IDE/CF adaptor before my flash card. To try things out, I grabbed an old 2GB card I had for my camera. It seemed to install, but failed miserably when it booted. I was worried, but it worked fine when I got the new card. What are the specs of the card

..this is even more frustrating as there appears to be no reason. The slim devices wiki and webpages are either outdated or utterly useless - some even with wrong codes - don't try to execute any of the suggestions in a terminal it might screw up your system entirely. -- mgw

Thanks for the reply. I started again, reloading everything from scratch, and it worked. I still have a problem, however. If I boot with the HDDs unattached everything goes fine. If I boot with the HDDs attached, and the BIOS set to disable the SATAs, everything goes fine -but- it is booting

Glad you are having some success. It sounds like you are almost there. That's strange - it seems that the BIOS is ignoring the fact that you have told it to disable the SATA ports. Does the BIOS have an option to set a priority to each boot device. If so, you would want to make sure that the

I'm running on an Xubuntu distro that I've upgraded in place probably 4x now. Each time I upgrade the distro, it clobbers the squeezeboxserver mysql apparmor settings. You can quickly check if this is the case for you by typing: sudo service apparmor stop And then try to restart

Unfortunately I’m still stuck. The BIOS doesn’t offer a boot priority as such, it offers boot sequence (with Enabling/Disabling per item). I managed to format SDA but I just cannot format SDB which has the boot on it. When I type the following commands I get the subsequent statements: fdisk

The hard drive is mounted. You can't format it while it is mounted. Use the command umount /dev/sda1 to unmount it. Then try your format command. It probably recognizes it as a formatted disk and is auto mounting it. Hopefully that gets you out of your situation. -- maggior Rich
