Trying to install on my newly acquired DELL 11-3168 with no avail.
With fdsik -l
I see heaps of partitions, but these have me stumped..
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/mmcblk0p1 * 2048 52891647 52889600 25.2G 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2 52893694 61069311 8175618 3.9G 5 Extended
/dev/mmcblk0p5 52893696 61069311 8175616 3.9G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
and apparently the boot partition is correct and has been written to where it should be. However:
Disk /dev/mmcblk0boot1: 4 MiB, 4194304 bytes, 8192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk /dev/mmcblk0boot0: 4 MiB, 4194304 bytes, 8192 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk /dev/sda: 14.9 GiB, 16008609792 bytes, 31266816 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
What is sda
? Not sure what this is doing here and how these boot partitions are impacting things... that they are impacting is without a doubt as the machine won't boot from HDD - no boot drive found..
How can I nuke all this and just go back to a single drive and couple of partitions? Would writing a new partition table on /dev/sda work?
sudo lsblk -f
(in "Try Ubuntu" mode)?
