1 Thanks Nikos,

3 I had a look in the bios, couldn't find AHCI (it's HP Compaq BIOS, not very
4 complete) but changed the translation mode from Automatic to LBA assisted
5 and now it works. Out of curiosity, I reverted the BIOS to defaults
6 (Automatic translation mode) and it still works. So basically I don't know
7 what happened but tinkering in the BIOS fixed the issue that I can't
8 reproduce. Not that I want to reproduce it but I don't like when I can't
9 understand what was going on.

11 So thank you very much for your help, I spent quite a lot of time on that
12 already and I can finally go further :-)
