Default HD Loop

Postby Hakoda » December 26th, 2011, 3:12 am

I'm on the latest Sardu 2.0.4.3 & Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I created a bootable USB drive. Rebooted and when I hit the "Boot to Default HD", it rebooted directly back into Sardu.

Anyone else have this problem? I tried it on a different USB drive & tried it without any ISO's (just started Sardu & made USB bootable). I also tried it on a different computer, same results.

Thanks in advance.

Figured it out. When booting default HDD, Sardu runs syslinux to localboot 1st hard drive. BIOS detected the USB drive as the 1st hard drive so it would automatically reboot and get caught in a loop.

Opened syslinux.cfg after Sardu completed in a text editor, found the default HD line and changed the "localboot 0x80" instruhction to "localboot -1". This tells syslinux to continue to the next device the BIOS boot priority list.

These settings depend from your hardware

Thats right and good: SARDU boots the "Bios default" Start-HDD-Option.

Opened syslinux.cfg after Sardu completed in a text editor, found the default HD line and changed the "localboot 0x80" instruhction to "localboot -1". This tells syslinux to continue to the next device the BIOS boot priority list.


It is maybe a good way for you. Think.

For other people is this very dangerous.
Many people dont no what they do in *.cfg and we dont support any modifications.

For not professional-user is better you set in BIOS your HDD as default and not in ready SARDU-USB-Stick.
Important information: Don't change the SARDU screen or menu's when you want a fine working SARDU. 8-)
