Hello,
I've been trying and repeating and re-installing, changing the USB, the HDD and the installation keeps failing.
System:
It's Lubuntu 16.04 but also occures with 14.04 and DSL 4.11. I sucessfully tested Openmediavault on the same HDD.
Main board is an ASUS P5KPL.
The problem:
It starts ok from a bootable USB. Runs through the whole process until it gets to restart the system.
On restart it either gets stuck at a black screen or I'm getting a "SQUASHFS error:..." message (several lines) similar to this here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquashfsErrors
BUT: The suggested solution is always to add to the boot kernel the lines
"ide=nodma acpi=off" (above and here http://askubuntu.com/questions/528036/ubuntu-installation-over-usb-and-dvd-fails)
Very well but I CANNOT get to the boot options at all. HOW shall I add something? Don't even get a terminal.
On boot from HDD all I'm getting is "/dev/sda2: clean 123549/1222992 files, 786209/4882432 blocks"... and a black screen.
This is ridiculous and really puts me off. Costs me so much time and I have never encountered such problems when installing Ubuntu or any other Linux variant. It has cost me three evenings and an afternoon now.
And I wonder when the system will actually be running at all.
Any ideas anyone?
Stephan
