OpenSUSE Install :: On Netbook Via Usb Pendrive - Stopped Proceeding Further
Nov 13, 2010
I have created the installation-usb by the command #dd if=opensuse-11.3-Gnome-LiveCD1.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M;sync from my laptop with debian-lenny OS and was trying to install opensuse on my netbook (NO optical drive) with Intel Atom. The BIOS of the netbook showed the booting priority
USB Memory
USB CD/DVD ROM Driver
Hard Disk Drive
Others.
After switching on the Netbook with the pendrive in the USB port the computer simply stopped proceeding further with the pendrive blinking on and on. So what shall I do?

Well this is the first time I've ever really installed Ubuntu... lol. I have Jolicloud on my netbook and decided to buy a Mac mini to replace my HP Pavilion notebook. Here's the problem.
I downloaded the .iso, made a bootable USB, and my notebook is stuck at the orange/white dots thing ._.
Now... what's wrong?

I was trying to install openSUSE 11.2 64 bits from the second partition of my 8GB USB pendrive.
Why? I want a dual data / emergency install pendrive without mixing my data with the install system.
As most people use MS Windows, and it's only able to mount the first partition of USB removable drives (without installing an alternative USB disk driver), I need the first partition to be the data partition for normal pendrive use.
Ok, I must say I've accomplished this with Ubuntu before without major problems.
Well, as of now, I've copied the ISO image contents to that second partition, installed Grub4DOS in the MBR with its corresponding custom menu.lst file, and made bootable the second partition.
When booting my system from the pendrive, the kernel was loaded without problems, but the boot process stopped with a message indicating that there was no device with MBRID = 0x8c71ad6e.
Ok, I ran fdisk from Linux and diskpart from Windows, and find the MBRID for my PenDrive is 0xed196ecb.
I've modified the /boot/grub/mbrid file with the actual pendrive MBRID, but the system refuses to boot with the same error (and with the correct MBRID).
Is it possible that the install system is only able (is hardcoded) to boot only from the first partition?

I want to install a OpenSuSE 11.2 in a no optical drive station. Obviously I have done a pendrive installation (following the steps in Live USB stick - openSUSE). Using Live images it works very well. But with the net install image, when I boot the station, nothing happen and it passes directly to the second boot device

Note: I am doing such setup for the first time so I don't know if there is a problem with given opensuse version or problem with what I am doing. System: openSUSE 11.4 RC1
Desired setup: entire system except /boot partition on hard disk, /boot partition on USB (pendrive). Aim -- making impossible to boot from hard disk, forcing boot from the USB (please, don't question my aim, I am just trivializing the issue here to shorten the description).
Setup: I set /home and / partitions on hard disk (/sda), /boot partition on USB (/sdb), I selected the options to Boot From Boot Partition as well as Boot From Master Boot Record. Finally I selected Boot Loader Options and selected Set active flag in Partition Table for Boot Partition. I installed the system.
What works:
a) without pendrive inserted I cannot start the system
b) with pendrive inserted GRUB menu shows up and system is ready to boot
The problem: after initial starting, there is long pause, and system switches to text mode with error:
Code:
drive "/dev/disk/by-id/id_of_my_pendrive" is not found Since the console worked, I logged in, and yes, actually there was not such disk found. But the disk (pendrive) was there -- the initial booting took place not from void, but from it. So why it is not present? Out of curiosity, I pulled it out, and plugged it in back, now it was visible in "dev/disk/. Question: what should I change/tweak for correct booting the system from pendrive? Or is a bug in 11.4 installer? I would like to setup everything as it should be done -- I mean within installer.
What I found so far: Booting encrypted system from USB stick - Gentoo Linux Wiki it is similar problem to mine, but only similar. I have other symptoms.

I've put openSUSE several times in USB flash drives. I've used the old method with dd ... and the new one with dd_rescue ..., shown in SDB:Live USB stick - openSUSE This way a partition is created (sdb1 or sdc1 or ...), with the Linux file system (ID: 83). One of the problems of this system is that all the data of the pendrive is deleted. Another problem is that sometimes openSUSE doesn't load completely and I cannot use it. And another of the problems is that even if I create another partition (for example to make the Live USB persistent and "remember" the configuration of my computer) and I put some of my photos, songs, films there when I plug the pendrive in a computer running Windows XP I cannot access the data. (What about Vista and 7?)
Other Linux distros can be put in pendrives using the FAT file system (for example W95 FAT32 (LBA), ID: c). This way my personal data or files (photos, documents, ...) can be opened from a computer running Windows XP (and the personal data is not erased when putting the Linux in the pendrive). So I would like to know how to create a Live USB drive with personal files that are avaiable for many Operating Systems, including Windows XP. Perhaps the solution is to put openSUSE in a FAT file system, or put it in Linux file system but create another partition with FAT file system (for this openSUSE should avoid the 1st partition, sdX1, that should be for the personal data, so Windows XP can access it).

I have a Samsung NC-10, installed Win 7 on it and after about 3 months realised that the Intel Atom processor couldn't cope very well. I defected to linux but I can't get the damn thing to boot. I downloaded the iso of openSUSE 11.3 and opened it with Daemon Tools Lite. In my first attempt, I copied and pasted the image using windows explorer onto an 8GB flash drive. I got a "Disk Error" message. (I did change the boot order so that the USB HDD had priority). I got my dad in to help and he formatted the drive to FAT32 and used xcopy in CMD to put the iso image onto the disk. Then I got the "Remove disks or other media. Press any key to restart" message. I'm annoyed now because I have spent my evenings doing this for the best part of 4 days.

I am looking into buying a cheap netbook and saw the Datawind Ubi-Surfer (e.g., Datawind Ubi-Surfer Netbook | [URL]). It comes with a pre-installed Windows CE which I will be keen to erase as soon as possible.
The spec is low, as can be expected: 128Mb ram (1GB flash), no optical drive (which poses the question of how to install openSUSE), but 3xUSB and ethernet are included.
I do not intend to use it for any processing. It is to run java applications and play music from an external USB hard drive.
Does anyone know whether this little box can cope with openSUSE 11.2 (or 11.3)? and if so, how do I install it without an optical drive?

I want to install 11.3 on a usb flash stick on a netbook.the internal harddisk should be completely unaffected, meaning
- when the usb stick is plugged in, bios should boot 11.3 from the stick
- when the stick is not plugged in, bios should boot from the internal hard disk
I am unsure how the boot options in yast have to be set to achieve that.I changed the order of the harddisks to /dev/sdb (=the usb stick) being the first.I selected /dev/sdb3 (The root partition of the to-be-installed 11.3) as user defined root partition.do I have to select "start from MBR" and/or "start from root partition"? is there more to do to make the usb stick bootable?

It seems that the touchpad has stopped working on my Acer travelmate 2490. I don't use it often, so that I am not sure when it occurred, but I suspect it was after my update to KDE 4.3.

I usually install or upgrade using Ctrl + alt + F1 console in init3 mode.Despite this and while using # zypper re && zypper up i notice that often times upgrade is stopped when checksums are changed. Last day 250 packages could not be upgraded because of maybe 5 packages with changed checksums. Sometimes clearing zypper cache with zypper cc does the trick but not all the time it works, I had to force install manually to be able to upgrade. Is it possible that upgrade is not impeded by such changes ? If not is it at least possible to have a list of changed checksum packages to be able to remove them or install them manually more easily ?

How Do I Create Bootable USB Installation For NetBook ?
I am going mad!
I am trying to make a bootable USB installation
so I can try OpenSUSE 11.2 on my NetBook with no CD/DVD drive.
I've Google'd for hours and tried different things
but I can not make a bootable USB of OpenSUSE 11.2.
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 now on my main desktop
and Ubuntu 10.04 now on the NetBook,
but have access to a Windows XP computer too...

I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. Everytime I try to "burn" the live 11.2 GNOME CD to an USB drive (1GB) it fails on boot. I've tried unetbootin, the application from pendrivelinux.com as well. When it boots, it usually can't find the image. So I have to type in the name of the image by hand then press enter. I actually type the below in:
boot: openSUSE_Linux_(GNOME)
So it starts loading the image in text mode. I don't mind this, except it stops when it tries probing for the CD/DVD ROM.
rebootException failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drive
It just stops pass there. I've tried to add in the options acpi=off, but do I add it in before or after I enter in the image name? BTW, it doesn't boot in my laptop either.

I have noticed that the latest version of SUSE 11.3 is supposed to come with a Netbook addition. During install I did not see this feature. Instead I did the default install with full blown KDE.

My Laptop Config is as follows.
Compaq Presario V3700
AMD Turion64
2GB Ram
Windows Partitions
/dev/sda1 == C: (WINDOWS)
/dev/sda2
[Code]...
I have been carrying out updates of both Vista & SuSE whenever i operate in them.
One (Not So) Fine Day, when i Choose from the Grub loader "Microsoft Windows Vista SP2" option it just din't boot into Vista. I have Tried many a time.
My First doubt was towards Vista only, so i choose the "Windows Recovery Mode" option from Grub. It went into the Recovery mode. I ran Memory Tests on Windows Partition, took its own sweet time, whatever missing indexes and all it carried out and finally gave the Thumbs Up result. After that, i carried out Startup Repairs, all came out well. So, Yet again i restarted and tried to get in Vista. Nope, dint work.

I am new to Linux and I'm trying to install OpenSuse on my machine:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ / 2.0 GHz
ATI Radeon Xpress 200
512.0 MB DDR SDRAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Shared video memory (UMA)
DVD-RW 16X TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B drive
Western Digital WD3200AAJB 320GB Hard Drive
I downloaded the ISO for version 11.4-i586 DVD size from DirectLink on opensuse.org. I checked the Windows MD5CHECKSUM and verifyied it. The installation goes fine until it begins installing packages when it prompts:
"Insert Disc 1"
Which I believe is the Disc that I burned already with the ISO file and is in the DVD-ROM drive that it's asking for. This happens for several files, and prompt me to either
retry/skip/abort/cancel
If I click Retry I get "media1.media not found" or a similar message. If I click Abort/Skip/Cancel the installation stops and takes me to a text version of the installation which then stops and says that it can not find the Installation Package either.
I have looked for reasons behind this but all I could find was possibly Mounting the DVD-ROM but the installatin runs fine until it begins looking for specific files and says it can't find the files on the Disc, even though it's in the DVD drive.

The case is that everytime I try to copy a big file to a pendrive the velocity start falling and 1gb could spend about half an hour. If I try to use another application like chromium the system turns so slow that is imposible to work.
This doesn't happen with an usb hard drive and this usb pendrive works just fine in mac os x and Windows.
I've found some answers that aren't my case, the problem in opensuse 9 or 10 don't remember that the problem was the rsync option while mounting the drive.
I'm using now opensuse 11.2
