Hello all,
I have experienced this very issue with my Sandisk Ultra Fit 3.0 32GB CZ43 (I have 2 of them), refered to below as SDUF.
I bought them with the intention to use them with Pogoplugs and Debian. But that is also a NO GO.
Please check out this thread for my findings: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,21868
Summary:
- Bodhi’s Debian cannot fully boot from the SDUF on Pogoplugs.
- Many live ISOs fail to complete the boot process. But the following distros have no problem using and booting from the SDUF.
TAILS, Kali, grml, AntiX, PCLinuxOS, Manjaro, Fedora. - A temporary work-around, to be able to boot from the SDUF, is to disonnect and reconnect it WHILE the kernel is loading,
or shortly after (while still looking for the rootfs). The kernel then detects the SDUF properly and the boot process continues successfully.
So the real question is, what procedure do theses live distros use to successfully detect the SDUF?
Needless to say, this experience has forced me to look elsewhere (i.e. NOT SanDisk) for flash drives.
TIA
Pepar
