Nope.. This is what I get. And not a deadlock, I can reboot with ctrl-alt-del.

Never seen that.

Me neither. And it's consistent as well, I've tried formatting on Windows XP and Windows 7, as well as on 2 different versions of Linux.
Oh, 3 different USB sticks as well.

I'll try a syslinux 4, just for the heck of it.

Nope, same result with syslinux 4.04.
I tested making a boot usb stick (option 3 in your script), and it boots nice and clean, so the stick and computer cannot be the problem.

I'll boot up a 3:rd computer in Linux to test if that works better, it'll be a clean openSUSE 11.4 box.

Bite me...

Works clean as a whistle in both creation and in booting when made on openSUSE 11.4..

The only catch is that it's very tricky to build apt-get, so I just symlinked to zypper, but that won't work in downloading mode. So, missing packages has to be downloaded manually.

To sum it up: Tested NOT working on openSUSE 11.1 on multi-cpu x86_64..

Some times you just say WTF !!!


Cool that you got it to work

I *NEVER* give up!
Maybe you should add a note about that old openSUSE 11.1 doesn't work with the USB install functions, only USB boot works.


Yep.. Now I "only" need a solution for successfully compiling a tg3 network driver that works with my BCM5780 NICs.. I've pinned it down to somewhere in the header files, but I can't successfully compile it so it loads..
