For example First I zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda (as from documentaion in the manual) the image is in the built "superfloppy" 256MB size format. Then I copied a debian.iso to the stick. It works fine with a 256MB and 1GB stick but with a corsair 2GB it wont work. The reason is that iso-scan errors out. When tracing backwards I found in iso-scan.postinst At the line DEVS="$(list-devices disk; list-devices partition)" the reason it misses the 2GB stick (which is at /sys/block/sda) is that udev thinks its a floppy. udevinfo -q env -p /block/sda gives ID_TYPE=floppy and udevinfo -q name -p /block/sda gives the name in devfs format, but its a disk (dont remember exactly). So it misses a disk because of the ID_TYPE, I added list-devices floppy in the line above and that makes it work. But maybe the udev (d-i) should detect it as a disk ? regards Peter -- bitrunner 0708-460260 Andra Långgatan 28 41327 Göteborg Sweden
