I have followed the instructions given for portable ubuntu/bilinux installation which has been sucessful and also made sure the boot/grub loader is installed in the external harddrive (seagate 2 tb) during installation. After the completion of bio-linux installation it requests the restart and biolinux boots up. But, after the 2nd boot the boot widow of biolinux gives me an error (that a USB-3 port is not available or is offline). I have installed biolinux several times thinking the installation may have missed the files but it always turns out the same way- 1st restart works but after the second restart/boot there is an error message. My desktop is Dell inspiron 3000 (i3) which by default uses UEFI boot system and I have disabled it while preparing the biolinux installation and have used legacy mode (modified BIOS setting). One interesting thing is that the same portable biolinux OS which didn't boot from desktop boots from my gateway laptop every time though. So, the problem basically is that the USB-3 port is not getting recognized while booting. I tried another USB-3 port which gave same error, all other USB 2 port however show biolinux OS loading (shows a loading Biolinux logo) but never fully boots even after 2-3 hours. I have been trying to make this work for 5 days now. I need to use this portable OS mainly on my desktop due it its higher performance and also I have to keep things running overnight. Any suggestions appreciated and thanks in advance. I took the picture of the error message. -- - Bish -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
