Title: USB boot of siduction-13.1.0-firestarter-rqt-amd64-201305202
Post by: coqueiro on 2013/05/29, 16:23:37
Hi,
    I'm having problems creating a live usb for siduction-13.1.0-firestarter-rqt-amd64-201305202350.iso
   
    after creating under unetbootin I get (on booting the usb)
   
   
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Waiting for up to 30 seconds for devices to settle
   
    Failed to detect live media
   
    /bin/sh:can't access tty;job control turned off
    ---------------------------------------------------
   
   
    and under dd(dd command used dd if=siduction-13.1.0-firestarter-rqt-amd64-201305202350.iso of=/dev/sdd1 bs=4096;sync )
    ---------------------------------------------------
    isolinux.bin corrupt or missing
    ---------------------------------------------------
   
    Any ideas. I can confirm that both unetbootin and dd have sucessfully worked before (many times)
   
    Tried under archbang at kernel 3.9.4
    and crunchbang at 3.2 and 3.13-liquorix
    and various others (mageia, fedora,sabayon etc)
   
    Pretty sure that it is a basic error i.e. mine.... but seem to be stuck now (and of course the iso will not fit on a cd-w / cd-r)

So any help/pointers etc would be great.
   
    Regards...

You may need to use "cdrom-detect/try-usb=true" flag.
I ran into the same thing, so I just used dd.

Because this will never work!
Unetbootin is well known for not working with isohybrid-images.
And you can use

dd if=/foo/bar/siduction-13.1.0-firestarter-rqt-amd64-201305202350.iso of=/dev/sdd

The target has to be a device, not a partition!

Yes sorry,
              As soon as I saw your reply re devices and not partitions  I had me a Homer moment, complete with head slapping.

So, USB created, siduction installed and now to play!

Many thanks and

All the best....
