                <div class="vbclean_msgtext" id="post_message_6514535">I am trying to install ubuntu 8.1 on Everex StepNote SA2052T and intall is stuck.<br>
<br>
I have tried the following instructions mentioned by this blog:<br>
<div style="margin: 5px 20px 20px;">
        <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom: 2px;"><br></div>
        <table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
        <tbody><tr>
                <td class="ubuntu_quotebackground">
                        
                                <a href="http://www.poplarware.com/everexlinux.html" target="_blank">http://www.poplarware.com/everexlinux.html</a><br>
<br>
Press F6 and add "sdhci.blacklist=yes" to the prompt (without quotes).
If you are using Ubuntu 8.10 or later, you will also need to add
"sdhci_pci.blacklist=yes" (without the quotes) -- the SDHCI driver was
split into two kernel modules in this version of Ubuntu. </td>
        </tr>
        </tbody></table>
</div>Press f6<br>
<br>
Then I do this<br>
<br>
file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity
initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash sdhci.blacklist=yes
sdhci_pci.blacklist=yes<br>
<br>
What I get is the following:<br>
<br>
Unknown boot option. Ignoring sdhci.blacklist=yes sdhci_pci.blacklist=yes<br>
<br>
I also tried without removing "--" as follows:<br>
<br>
file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity
initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash -- sdhci.blacklist=yes
sdhci_pci.blacklist=yes<br>
 <br>
I still get unknown boot option.<br><br>
Can someone help get this to work?</div>
