Hello everybody,

I do not get DSL installed on my USB Stick. I tried to mount the stick before
install but it did not work either...


When i try the DSL USB Pendrive Installation i get the following error messages:

DSL pendrive BIOS boot FAT USB_HDD install/update.

1. Your BIOS must support USB-HDD booting.
2. A single FAT partition will be made.
3. Backup/Restore will be pre setup.
4. Do not have your pendrive mounted.

No responsibility for data loss or hardware damage!

Enter the device name of pendrive.(EXAMPLE: sda): DSL
Is this an installation or upgrade? (i,u) i
Use DSL iso from [L]iveCD, from [F]ile, from [W]eb. (l/f/w): l
List boot options:
Example: vga=normal toram ssh nfs syslog lpd monkey ftp:
Choose language/keyboard if other than english:
Example: cs da de es fr nl it pl ru sk: de
Ready to proceed. (y/..)? y

Last change to exit before destroying all data on /dev/DSL

Press Enter key to continue.

-------------------------
And with grep scsi -A 3 I get the following:


scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
 Vendor: USB       Model: Flash Disk        Rev: 2.00
 Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

SCSI device sda: 2048000 512-byte hdwr sectors (1049 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: sda1



Thanks for any help on how to solve this problem.

This means that your stick is a 1GB drive and it is located at device name "sda"

So type in "sda" at the device name of pendrive prompt, not "DSL"

Actually, I have this same problem and I am using the correct device.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Make sure that your device name is really sda

Also, make sure that you use lowercase letters

sda

NOT

SDA
