Hallo!
Yesterday I tried Plop Boot-Manger on MD41700 with grub2(Kubuntu 9.10 netbook-edition + WinXP).
Principally Plop is O.K., but PC freezes loading the Plop-USB-driver.
I'd like to test Kubuntu 10.10 netbook-edition on USB-Stick, because 10.04 has no support for built-in Prism-WLAN-Adapter(upgrade failed for this reason).
Is it possible, to get Plop-USB-startup working for ATI-USB ?
hi,
try the boot manager 5.0.10
regards
elmar
5.0.10 looks promissing:
I use "hama USB 2.0 Card Reader 35 in 1" with silver-colored plastic-case instead of that with transparent-blue one now . . .
In SD-slot is my 4GB-Intenso-SD memory-card recognized as "transcend"(see appendix device007) with Kubuntu 9.10.
Booting USB there is no freezing any longer:
1) EHCI-driver is tested, then unloaded
2) OHCI is loaded, seems to "see" transcend-SD, but cannot find grub2, I put on the card with different PC (BIOS capable booting via USB) and is functional there.
3) Plop returns to boot-menu
Is it possible, to fix this problem?
