Default SNL USB Installation failed, wont boot from USB now - 03-12-2010, 05:07 AM

NBI 0.8.3
BIOS A06

Started off great, on first try I reformatted the drive and started the installation. Said about 30 minutes left then KP with about 27 minutes to go.

Restarted the computer and now it wont boot from USB. I have tried all three, any thoughts? Do I need to downgrade the BIOS? never had a problem like this before and this is my 3rd 10v I've done this to.

Looking for any advice, thanks

Going to upgrade to NBM/NBI 0.8.4pre and see how it goes. I did get it to boot from the USB from time to time so it might be the old image I have on the USB.

Will post details in the morning

Checking my old files I think I made the image using NBM 0.8.2, could this be an issue with BIOS A06?

Yes, 0.8.2 did not support A06. That came late in the 0.8.3 cycle.

You certainly shouldn't have to downgrade your BIOS if you are using the latest version of NBI.
