Installation: PCLinuxOS 2010.10 release, on an original Asus EeePC 4G, equipped with 2GB of RAM and a 16GB SDHC card, partitioned as follows:
sda1 (4GB, ext3) - /
sdb1 (6GB, ext3) - /usr
sdb2 (9GB, ext3) - /home
Problem: Machine fails to boot properly following installation, unless /etc/fstab is edited immediately following the install procedure in order to change from the 'UUID' method to the direct method, as follows:
# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
# Entry for /dev/sdb2 :
/dev/sdb2 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 1 3
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sdb1 :
/dev/sdb1 /usr ext3 defaults,noatime 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
