It took quite some time and effort but I managed to build a iso image of Ubuntu Server 10.04 for the fit-pc2i revision 1.1.
This will allow you to install it on the fitpc2i revision 1.1 hard drive from an usb memory stick. You can use the ubuntu usb-creator program to create a usb boot disk. Just for the record, the parameter 'cdrom-detect/try-usb=true' has been added so the usb port is detected by the installation process and read the iso on the stick.
Download it here (dexnode release #2) : http://fitpc2i.dexnode.com/download/ubu ... ses/lucid/
On grub install:
When grub is asking if you you want to install it on the master boot record, answer no and it will be installed on the HDD (/dev/sdb1 ; hd1,1)
Note : fitpc2i rev 1.2 does not need a custom iso, therefore you can install the official ubuntu server release.
I needed to modify pata module because ubuntu only detects master hard drives (currrently SD is master and HD slave, and this is a hardware configuration we cannot change). The modification makes the kernel detects slave HD as well during boot time.
