Title: Any known problem installing SparkyLinux 8.1 Xfce in legacy mode ?
Post by: paul74 on February 05, 2026, 02:36:29 PM
Hello,

I have  a Toshiba Satellite Pro S500-10D (originally delivered with Windows 7), upgrated to 8 GB RAM and 240 GB SSD,   running SparkyLinux 7.8 for a while without any problem.
As i had some problems to upgrade to SparkyLinux 8 via usual process, I decided to install SparkyLinux 8.1.

Installation process rans fine. Without any message.


But as I restart the PC, I get the message "no system disk".

I start another Linux system contained on RescueZilla USB key to try to determine the source of the problem.
I see that the mount point specified for SSD is "/media/Ubuntu" ???????

To be sure my SSD is OK, I restarted SparkyLinux 7 preiously saved onto external disk. Everything working fine !

I also tried to install SparkyLinux 9 and get same problem.

Forgotten something ?
No legacy support anymore ??

Thanks in advance for your ideas and comments.
Have a nice day.
