However some things did not go as instructed. When editing the grub line in the installation menu, I did add the "splash all_generic_ide --" but when it came to the partition menu, it again requested me to manually select the driver to detect the hard drive. I chose "generic-ide" which seemed to work.
The partitioner took a realllllllly long time, but eventually it copied install files and finished the install.
However, when booting and editing the grub line again with "splash all_generic_ide" it freezes after "Loading, please wait..."
Eventually it spits out:
Code: Select all
[ 46.577856] usb 2-2: string descriptor 0 read error: -71
[ 46.585839] usb 2-2: string descriptor 0 read error: -71
[ 46.589847] usb 2-2: can't set config #1, error -71
I tried this several times from scratch. help.
