Hi Folks,
My usb flash drive is causing post to take minutes to progress, and then the drive is not present when the boot device selection list finally shows up (F12 prompt).
Not sure if this is related to Syslinux so I posted in the general usb forum. I have a corsair survivor 16gb usb 3 flash drive which I've formatted as ntfs and trying to get booting to the YUMI menu using syslinux 5.01. The problem is only happening when I have the drive plugged into the usb 3 port. When I change the port behavior in the bios to only function as usb 2, the problem persists. When I plug the drive into the other usb port which is usb 2 only, it works fine. The system is a lenovo x1 carbon ultrabook.
I've configured the flash drive as such using win 7:
1) Run diskpart,
- sel disk 2
- clean
- create part pri
- sel part 1
- format fs=ntfs quick ;I need ntfs rather than fat32 because I have some .wim files which are 4gb+
- active
- assign letter=E
- exit
2) I robocopy the yumi files and my other boot images over to the key
3) I run syslinux 5.01 on the key: syslinux64.exe -d \multiboot\ -i E:
4) I also tried running syslinux with some different switches: syslinux64.exe -m -s -d \multiboot\ -i E:
Also I'm able to boot to winpe 3 from the usb 3 port when using a usb hdd (haven't tried yumi with syslinux with that hdd).
Is this likely an incompatibility between syslinux and the usb 3 port in this laptop? I checked the specs and it's an intel mobile qs77 express chipset which includes both usb 3 and 2 ports in the chipset.
Thanks!
