[solved] cant detect live media

[muhammedabuali]

I downloaded the razorqt version and i booted it , then I got the messege :
" cant detect live medium . modprope : module echi-orion not found . cant start tty " 
and I am stuck at busbybox debian  (initframs)
edit: there was also the messege : failed to assemble all md arrays.

[devil]

I would guess, you ISO is broken somehow. Please verify md5sum. What medium are you booting from?

I am using unetbootin installer to boot my usb . I verified sha256sum and it is correct

[devil]

Well, there we go.  You need to use dd to put the iso on the stick, unetbootin does not work reliably with debian/siduction.
Here is the relevant part of our manual: http://manual.siduction.org/hd-ins-opts-oos#raw-usb

tried to put last "kde iso" on a usbpen, following manual hints suggested previously by devil - and using also other sw under Windows-, but siduction is never detected  at laptop boot!
iso file works fine under Virtualbox check.
Any hints ?
Thanks

Maybe your laptop has UEFI instead of BIOS?

[Ercolinux]

Hi towo, thanks for the reply. No, it is an HP EliteBook (~2 years old), with bios. Several liveCD boots fine (OpenSuse, aptosid, Fedora, etc).
I can browse the content of the usbpen with a file manager, but gparted reports problem at partition table:this is anyway the usual behaviour I note when an iso is copied on the pen ...

[devil]

The problem about the partition table is because of the way dd works. That is ok and normal.


About your boot: how far do you get in booting? Are you sure you used sdx instead of sdxy with dd (eg sda instead of sda1) dd needs to write on the device, not on a partition.

this is the comand I used (from console history) :

Code Select Expand

sudo dd if=/media/disk1part4/ISO/siduction-13.2.0-december-kde-amd64-201312310241.iso of=/dev/sdc


thanks .

[devil]

dd does not need root.
What graphics card is that?

With AMD Graphics you should use the second option when booting the iso, not the standard one.

[Ercolinux]

mmh, what does the second option means ? During boot the usbpen is not detected at all ...
Sorry, I do not catch Your suggestion.
Thanks
