I have been reading through the 54 pages of this thread and I have done all things previously mentioned (such as installing the .deb many times, rebooting, checking that virtual memory is off, re-inserting the SD card, formatting the SD card again, etc, etc) but still no luck.

The bootloader is installed but it ALWAYS boots to flash.

Any tips?

Thanks!

TROUBLESHOOTING

MENU WILL NOT APPEAR
boot to flash and open xterm and become root and run the following command:
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool –set-root-device ask:flash
Instead of flash, you can also set the default boot image to be mmcX

mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal
mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external

Your menu will not display until you set it to ask:somthing then reboot.
