So I have a spare Toshiba cb35-b3330 that I use to play around with OS's. I was trying out Solus and I noticed I can't install, as it doesn't see the onboard "ssd". Does anyone know of a workaround, or is it just not possible to use Solus on machines that use emmc drives?
I had a similar issue with my Acer ES1-11M (different distro though) ... it was dew to the install system not loading all the modules required to get the internal emmc working.
You have to check whether the kernel, in the install image, was compiled with all the required options to get your emmc working:
if it was it's just a matter of getting the modules to load,
it it was not you might have to recompile it and get the kernel and modules into the install image.
Solus does not currently support emmc drives much like some other linux distros. I remember this question being posted on the solus forums I think and they said that they were going to address it at some stage. I'm not sure what the status is, perhaps better to head over to the Solus forums and ask there: https://solus-project.com/forums
