Another booting question...

[fiveleaf]

Hello,

I am trying to install BT5 on an 80GB SSD. [Intel X25-M]

-Fresh SSD from using "Clean all" from diskpart (from win7 boot disc command line);
-Boot disc made from BT5 .iso (grub x64) [mdn5 checks good];
-Booted from Boot Disc, selected 80GB SSD from menu and selected default option to use entire disk;
-Computer restarts, and changed default boot drive in BIOS to 80GB SSD;
-Computer displays a blank screen, with a flashing underscore. Screen does not change from this.

----

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 from a seperate 60GB SSD. [Patriot Pyro]
During installation, other HDD's were plugged in (but this should not have affected install)
I am able to re-create this error following the steps taken above.

Is this a graphics card issue? Bootloader issue?

System:
6GB Tri-Channel RAM [Corsair Dominator]
ASUS 5850TOP GPU
ASUS Rampege III Extreme mobo

Intel X25-M SSD - clean
Patriot Pyro 60GB SSD - Ubuntu 11.04
Other HDD's formatted in FAT32/NTFS, but currently no M$ OS installed (waiting on newer intel SSD to arrive)




Edit: It seems my reply is not showing up (3-5hrs)

SSD transferred to an old INSPIRON 6400 that's been sitting around for a few years. Same boot result, so I think I'm a step closer to ruling out a GPU issue... but from what I've read, it's the integrated graphics cards that mostly seem to cause issues. This laptop uses an integrated GPU.

I can explore the SSD from Ubuntu, and everything appears to have installed correctly. Perhaps there is something specific I could look for?

Well, I'd say it's safe to assume it's not a graphics card issue since it worked on the LiveCD. I can't really think of anything it could be off the top of my head though. I'll do some digging on Google tonight and see what I can find for you.

My next move is to clean/install to the SSD from the Insprion. If this doesn't work, I'll do the same with an extra HDD from the Insprion.

If solution, will re-test from tower... But I cannot see any way that either of these factors would affect this issue.

This is exactly what my issue is!

I don't suppose a fix was located/devised?
