![]() The disk chosen for this installation is the NVMe based drive and I have allocated 536 MB for EFI partition and the rest formatted as ext4 and mounted on "/" for Ubuntu 20.04. In BIOS, I have disabled secure boot and under booting I have selected "only UEFI" and "CSM = NO".īy setting CSM as No, I believe that is required as the I have selected GPT in RUFUS and the corresponding option is UEFI(no CSM). I am using RUFUS to create a bootable ISO USB-PENDRIVE of 8GB. In some cases, it stalls at a different point while the installation of "dpkg" is in progress. It does show some progress in the beginning and then it just stalls when it is "Detecting file systems. Unfortunately, the installation stalls when I define the mount point, enter name and password to set up the computer name and then click on the "Continue" button. ![]() Didn't work then, but came in handy now.I am not able to install Ubuntu 20.04 on Lenovo laptop. It overwrote the partition table, leaving my W2k installation unreachable. I then tried 13.x iinm, didn't like it at all. I still have my Ubuntu 8.04 dvd that I got with a magazine. Ubuntu installed effortlessly and seemlessly. Windows 10 left it's foul smelling calling card behind, but so did Pop Os (based on Ubuntu 19.1 iirc). I'm pretty sure this is what made it work. Īnyway, in so many words Ubuntu 20 stated it was going to scrub the partition table/record, and made sure you understood what was going to happen. Leave it to them heinies to whip up something masterful (I'm part German, no one take offense please. A cowormer (a typo, but it looks funny was playing with a boxed edition back in '06, and claimed the plug and play aspect was better then Windows. I had an extremely brief stint with it recently, and all I can say is it looked slick. I also tip my Hat to Red Hat, Slackware, and something that has piqued my interest lately, Suse. I'm leaning towards Deborah and Ian also, as it's sort of the current reigning king as I see it. It up in vi and deleted everything, saved, and tried to boot the usb then. I was only doing an rm on it so it was getting unlinked, but the VBR still knew where to find it. ![]() The reason everything was fine without it was because the VBR had the starting sector So, I guess that ldlinux.sys is important after all. If no configuration file is found you will be given a syslinux prompt. If one is found, the configuration file is loaded. Syslinux is fully loaded, it looks for a configuration file, either nf or syslinux.cfg. The code is stored in the sectors following the VBR. Therefore, the entire Syslinux code needs to be stored outside the filesystem. In the case of btrfs, the above method will not work since files move around resulting in the sector location of ldlinux.sys changing. Therefore, if the location of ldlinux.sys changes, syslinux will no longer boot. In the case of ext2/3/4 and fat12/16/32, the starting sector of ldlinux.sys is Once found, the volume boot record (VBR) will be executed. Then the MBR looks for the partition that is marked as active (boot flag). At boot, the computer loads the MBR (/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin).
