[Bug 2106499] Re: Installation fails with 'OSError: [Errno 16] Device or resource busy: '/dev/mmcblk1p3''

[Olivier Gayot]

Hello Heinrich,

Looking at the probe-data, it looks like mmcblk1 is flashed with the
installer ISO. I assume we won't be able to use it as the target if
that's where the installer is loaded from?

Is it possible on this board to have the installer loaded on a different
device than the MMC - assuming we want to install Ubuntu to the MMC?

Thanks,
Olivier
