So, I've downloaded http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.2.1/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.2.1-amd64-netinst.iso, run "gparted /dev/sdb" to make a new partition table on my flashdrive and one fat32 fs partition, run unetbootin and selected the downloaded iso file and the flashdrive as target, try to boot from it, the menu comes up, then a plain old "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(254,32)".
So, back to "wodim -v debian-6.0.2.1-amd64-netinst.iso" on a DVD-R, which prints the same error message about fixating (see attached files for the wodim and kernel output if interested), but the resulting CD actually *does* boot! The installer comes up and runs just fine. So where does that leave me? What does it show? 1. unetbootin is still broken (unable to make *any* image work on flashdrive) 2. all Ubuntu based images I tried are broken regardless of whether on flashdrive or DVD or CD. But these images must be working for the majority, so why not for me? Christian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
