Hello, Has anyone installed Debian 9 from USB? I try to install to a ~480GB
SDD that is in a carrier connected to a USB port. When trying to write
partition changes to disk, the installer stops and complains that the root
partition is offset by some multiple of 512 bytes. I try without success to
find a way to set the SSD's physical and logical volume both sizes to 4096
bytes. Maybe the carrier's connection circuitry affects the perceived volume
size? Maybe the SDD has to be internal and directly connected to the laptop?
Thanks for any help.
might you use something like gparted to handle the partitioning and then do
the install? or simply linux fdisk?
Tried both, also cfdisk, checked the man pages - there seems to be no
command to set both volume sizes.
BTW, I tried "force UEFI mode" and "do not force". For each, I tried
manual and guided partitioning. In every case there is an offset
error :-(
