Re: 7.0.3-beta2 won't boot

I tried booting the beta2 USB on another completely different PC, and got
the same results, booting failed. So this problem is not related to the
details of the  XYC Minipc hardware.

I tried booting the ISO version of beta2 on the same PC, saw the same error
messages about /dev/sda1 not being a block device, but booting continued
and made it to the Leaf login prompt. So maybe that error message is a red
herring.

I made a fresh USB from beta2 syslinux version just in case I had done
something wrong, but got the same results.

I would like to know if anyone else has tried booting the syslinux version
of beta2 from a usb and had success or failure. I do not have the same
problem with the ISO version.

(later) I see Erich just sent me another message,  I will look at his
suggestions.
