In general, I note that suggested distros are all i386 based with PAE support. 401 doesn't have SSD support, but I question whether that's accurate, or if it even applies to you, since a 4GB soldered to the motherboard would seem to be SSD to me. Googling for answers, I saw a user comment that the Asus BIOS v. Hopefully, she'll chime in here.maybe change the name of your thread to "Linux on Asus eeePC 701" or something similar to catch her eye! Until then. There's a user on here named Plodr that has linux (maybe even LXLE if I remember correctly?!) on an Asus eeePC, but I'm not sure if it's the same model as yours. But I'm not familiar with your machine either. With the SSD booting first, your bootloader (GRUB) will see any OS on the motherboard attached HDD (sda), allowing you to choose between LXLE linux (on your SSD) or the other (your motherboard HDD) upon startup.Ĭlick to expand.I've never heard of that behavior before.an upgraded SSD "overwriting" a soldered drive and identifying itself as the primary drive (sda). Please note the final step to enter BIOS and change the preferred boot order so that your SSD is first.

Here's a tutorial with screenshot of how/where to do that:īy choosing dev/sdb as the location of installation, your LXLE install will now fit on your SSD (as long as it's at least 8GB or larger!) and your installation should continue as expected. The solution is to change your installation location FROM the default "sda" TO the desired "sdb". Your SSD is likely identiifed as "sdb" and will be mounted at dev/sdb. Since your 4GB HD is soldered to the board, you can't remove it and it will ALWAYS be identiifed as "sda", with any partitions identified as "sda1, sda2, etc." (As a side note, what is on the 4GB HDD? Seems too small for an OS installation? Are you dual booting, or is it empty? If dual-booting, what OS is on that tiny drive? These answers may provide clues to any possible installation issues which could be addressed at time of install, rather than afterwards, FYI.) If correct, the reason is that a standard installation will default to dev/sda. I suspect your LXLE installation is probing the disk, determining that it is too small for installation, removing the "write" capabilities to prevent disk corruption, and your installation fails. If your soldered HD is only 4GB, it is definitely too small for most linux distro installations (there are a few that will fit, but not necessarily recommended for new users).

With this realization, I'd like to change my answer!Īs previously discussed, your errno30 message is a notification of a disk error failing to mount with full read/write capabilities mounting with "read only" permissions, which is causing your failure. I don't know if I had a brain fart, our just missed this part, but when I responded to your PM I was under the impression that you had completely replaced your hard drive (swapped a platter HD with an SSD) instead of adding an SSD as a 2nd hard drive. Please note as stated above i am installing in a pci-e mini ssd NOT the 4 gb soldered onto the eeec which clearly would not be enough to install most linux os such as lxleĪny idea what is going on? lxle works great in live but unfortunately i need the speed of the ssd which is why i want to install it there.Ĭlick to expand.I'm glad you posted this again, and clarified.

I even went ahead and tested the memory with memtest did 6 passes and everything went through with - errors.ĭisks are good, usb thumb sticks too, as well as my sd cards there is just some issue that i am missing or maybe something specific about linux being installed on my specific eee pc model. that error errno30 always pops up mid installation. I tried installing via usb, dvd, sd card etc. I tested the hard drive and it passes ( its a pci-e mini ssd) not only that i even went ahead and bought another one thinking it was the hard drive but it still had same issue. I run across an error about dvd/cd being faulty, computer possibly getting to warm, or the hard drive being bad all of which are not the case. I tried almost everything i could think of and i cannot get it to install. I am trying to install lxle 12.04.5 on an asus eee pc 701
