Today I got my Mini-ITX system, and I'm as happy as can be.
What I've got:
VIA EPIA ML-6000EA motherboard
256MB PC400 RAM
Kingston 256MB USB-Stick
Samsung 40GB 2.5" Harddisk
note: no CD-ROM drive
So I went to another PC, ran DSL live-cd and put the darn thing onto my USB-Stick (USB-ZIP) using the appropriate tool.
The stick boots DSL on my mITX no problems; everything I need works (sound, screen resolution, internet!, etc.), and I'd like to perform a HD-install because on my old system this wasn't a problem at all and I was happy with it there.
Wasting no time, I went straight for the HD-Install script in my fluxbox menu - no luck finding the HD. Tried cfdisk, made a 20GB bootable (83) partition, a 1GB swap (82) partition and another 10GB (83) partition. Don't ask me why, because I don't know myself. Wrote the table, everything seems fine.
Then I do the HD-Install, running from the USB-stick in "toram" mode, and everything seems to work out fine. I don't think there were any problems, so it does its thing, then asks me to reboot, which I happily do.
I remove the USB-stick, set the boot priority to HDD0, and wait. The system POSTs (or whatever it's called), then goes to "Verifying DMI Pool Table" - and stops. I wait, 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 5 minutes - nothing.
GAAARARARARGGHH!!!
