Hi everyone
I've followed step by step the Pendrive installer for RaBoard, and it start booting and all, but after a few steps of installation, when doing "Detecting network Hardware", it stops and never move again, and the board is connected to internet.
Anyone know why does this happens?

This what i've used to build the Pendrive installer
debian-505-i386-businesscard.iso
initrd.gz
linux-image-2.6.29.1-vortex86dx_1.0_i386.zip

Thank you :shock:

Hi there!
I've tried a million things to get it running, and some how i thought on go to the BIOS definitions and change the USB device from AUTO to Force FDD.
With that it started installing fine! Just waiting to see if the installation goes well and the board boots up correctly!

Well the Forced FDD trick worked just fine. Debian is running.
