I have reverted back to using HP laptop to create the micro SD card without any problem because HP detected the SD card as sdx.

@cttan
this is a weirdo - why installer defaults to LILO when ext4 is well supported by syslinux?
did you modify the installer by any chance?
anyway - i wont be able to debug this without having an access to the hardware.
i know you have resolved the problem but is there any chance for giving me ssh access to this PC sometime next week?
if not then we can wait for another occurrence.
thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
