Ubuntu 9.10 fail to boot in external USB HDD
has anyone install Ubuntu 9.10 on a USB hard drive?
-for me:
after finishing the installation on the external HDD, rebooting the system gets me to a
"grub-rescue>" prompt, with message "no such partition"
typing in " ls" displays:
"(hd0), (hd0,1), (fd0), (fd0,1) , no such device"
I think the "no such device" is my USB drive.
(hd0) (hd0,1) should be the primary IDE channels
the Motherboard can boot from USB device__done it with USB thumb drive before.
can not do "set root=device" because there is no such device.
lastly, if I take the hard drive out of the external-enclosure and connect it to one of the sata channel/slots in the MB , the computer boots into Ubuntu 9.10 sucessfully....hmm
