Lakka will not boot when already installed to internal storage #228

Version: 2.1-rc4 and also 2.1-rc5 tested System: generic.x86_64 (Compaq/HP 6820s if that matters) Reproduction: create a usb with lakka live image, boot it with installer, install to internal disk. when done, power off, remove usb, power on, let lakka create storage partition, power off after completed. insert usb, boot from usb. Expected: boot the lakka from USB What happened: lakka failed to boot with message: Error in mount_flash: mount_common: Could not mount UUID=2404-4447 and busybox shell was started.

System did not apparently show the usb thumb drive - blkid listed only partitions on internal storage, in /dev there were only sda1, sda2 (internal partitions - confirmed with fdisk - sda 120.00 GB, thumb drive is 16.00 GB) and sdb (optical drive)

USB thumb drive is OK - was able to boot it on different computer, which has no Lakka on internal drive installed (Toshiba Chromebook 2 for that matter).

Note: same behavior also on S905 device spotted approx month ago - on internal storage of the S905 device LibreELEC was installed, but the message was, that it cannot find partition with label "LIBREELEC" / "LIBREELEC-DISK" - partitions were labeled "LAKKA" / "LAKKA-DISK". After changing the labels to "LIBREELEC" and "LIBREELEC-DISK" all worked. But this is probably not related - could be the bootloader configuration issue on that S905 device.

Regarding the issue with S905 box - when I replaced the dtb.img on the SD card with proper dtb.img (gxbb_p200_2G_100M.dtb from https://sx05.eu/s905/8.2/device_trees/S905/), it worked as expected. I don't have daily access to that above laptop, but will check during weekend with the latest nightly/rc.

closing as specific to a setup / BIOS of the said laptop.
