https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/47741

I'm been having problems trying to get eeeubuntu to work from an SD card on my 900.. (I want to keep Xandros for now.)  Inetbootin-eeeubuntu-windows-238  worked - I can boot eeeubuntu but changes don't stick - updates aren't there the next time I reboot.  So apparently I need to formally "install" eeeubuntu using the installer that opens up every time eeeubuntu boots. I did the following:

(1)  Installed eeeubuntu on a large (8MB ) flash drive using unetbootin-eeeubuntu-windows-238 

(2 )Booted eeeubuntu from the flash drive 

(3) Ran the eeeubuntu install program to a 16MB SD card 

When I try to boot eeeubuntu from the SD card nothing happens. Just a black screen. 

Thinking the menu.lst might be referencing the wrong drive I tried different values: hd0, hd1 and hd2.  None worked.

Any help very much appreciated!!!!!
