I did a bunch of tests for this branch today. And the results are quite
disappointing.
1. On a Thinkpad X61 I was able to clone using the new Tails Installer
fine onto a SD card. I noticed only two minor glitches:
- In the menu the launcher is called "Tails installer". It should be
"Tails Installer" as we use title capitalization for application name,
as all the other menus do.
- In the confirmation dialog, the device is presented as
"8.0 GB SD8GB device" (note the double space), whereas on the X200 it
is presented with a more explicit brand name. But that's no big deal.
Apart from that the process when all-right. But then I realized that the
X61 cannot boot from SD cards. So that's a bit useless...
2. So I tried to boot that SD card on a ThinkPad X200 and it wouldn't
boot. The syslinux error message was:
SYSLINUX 4.02 debian-20101014 EDD Load error - Boot error
3. On the X200, I tried to run Tails Installer from this same branch and
clone onto the same SD card, boot from the X200, and I got the same
error message. I'm sending you in a private email most of the files on
that SD card for debugging.
4. Then on the X200, I tried to run Tails Installer from 0.21 and clone
onto that SD card, boot from the X200, and that worked fine. This worked
all-right with the feature/liveusb_ui_improvement that I tested on
Wednesday as well.
5. If I clone onto a USB stick using this same branch from the X61, the
USB stick boots fine.
So, from my experience, feature/sdio, adds a regression that prevents
from installing onto a SD card either through USB or through SD, and
boot through USB.
What else can I do to help your track this down?
