I have tried literally everything, but am not having any luck getting XBMCBuntu 11.0 Eden installed on my Acer Aspire Revo. Can anyone help me troubleshoot? I've been using XBMC for years but have never run into anything like this.
I'm currently running XBMC 10.1 Live. I downloaded 11.0 and, using Unetbootin, created a bootable USB stick. In my BIOS, I've got "removable media" (or whatever it's called; I don't have it in front of me atm) set as the first drive. However, if I just try to let it boot, it goes into 10.1. If I hit F12 at startup and manually select the USB drive (it does show it in the drive list), I get a black screen that says "missing operating system," which then goes away after a few seconds and boots into 10.1 again.
I've looked everywhere on the forums, but no clues. I've also tried three different USB sticks and an external USB/SATA drive, have re-downloaded the XBMCBuntu iso and tried to set it up with Unetbootin three times on three different computers (a Windows 7 PC, a Snow Leopard Mac and a Lion Mac). On all attempts, I've preformatted the drives to FAT32, and didn't use quick mode.
Like I said, I've been thorough ;-) Pretty frustrated at this point. Where am I going wrong?
