Vyatta d945gclf2 Boot Fail
Scenario / Question:
I installed Vyatta on a Harddrive connected to a D945gclf2 Intel Atom 330 board and Vyatta will not boot. Error no boot device found.
Solution / Scenario:
The boot flag was not properly set on the partition. Use fdisk and set the boot flag on the vyatta boot partition
Boot from Vyatta LiveCD
Boot from the Vyatta livecd
Login as root
user: root
password: vyatta
Set the boot flag on your harddrive partition containing Vyatta
# fdisk /dev/sda
Command (m for help): a
Partition number (1-4): 1
Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. Syncing disks.
Reboot your system (remove Vyatta livecd from CD drive)
Your system should boot Vyatta and Grub now !
