Thanks for the hints. I used this stick for another project last week, to install Proxmox and OpenMediaVault. But today I've changed the stick and the blocksize parameter to bs=4M and it booted lovely. I'd think the stick doesn't play well with the laptop and/or Elive, so it shouldn't be an Elive issue.
I'm working in bed, right now, so I'd love to see the message 'please don't shake the system, while elive is running. It could damage your hard disk'.
The installation itself needs roundabout 55min. Now I need some time for the customization.
So far it looks really good, and I'll test all the hardware during the next days.
sometimes the problem is simply bad-quality usb sticks
I think that this info should be clearly said on the website too, in order to avoid issues like this
BTW i suggest to use usb-bootable-elive tool (from commandline if you preffer), it may be a bit more secure to not pick a wrong usb ID, check the available options with --help
I think, considering the newby questions we get here in general:
No-one reads the site thouroughly if at all !!
So there's no point in adding stuff ...... the Q&A and Docs have to be set up differently, i.e clearer, shorter (do not want to write a book!) and lots of images.
