I have the linux only Aspire One so at least I know the hardwareĪs I understand it a live linux system uses an image file that holds the linux install flub RE: Boot from SD-Card with syslinux Lemon13 (MIS) 13 Mar 09 04:21 I don't really want to install linux on the internal harddrive (one reason for doing this is so that I can operate the computer most of the time entirely off the SD card, saving the batter power involved in spinning up the internal HD) The USB drives I've been playing with, mostly based off an eeebuntu live cd, boot with syslinux. I don't want to lose the Windows XP installation. I've tried to get grub loaded on a USB stick and think I have that working, and then put the UUID in as the source for the memory card, but it Grub returns a 'File Not Found' error when I try to boot. Load modules for reading the SD card into ram

Run boot loader (either from USB drive or internal HD) The approach that I am thinking of is as follows: I would like to boot Linux from the SD card. The bios does not allow for booting directly from the SD card, though does allow for the normal booting from USB. The base configuration is a 160GB Internal Harddrive with Windows XP pre-installed.īecause some models come only with a much smaller solid state hard drive, there are two SDHC readers on the machine. I have recently been playing with the Aspire One netbook.
