Crunchbang Hangs on boot (solved)

ms4sman · 2011-03-01 03:22:25

I have just installed crunchbang to a flash drive. Everytime i try to boot into it it hangs on the loadingscreen. There is no specific spot. Its always different. It is always after the crunchbang menu. I have never had success booting yet. Please help.

How did you install #! to the USB flash-drive?

I used pendrive linux universal usb installer. Is that not a good program? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal- … -as-1-2-3/

If nothing works for you, I think your last bet should be trying to install it from a LiveCD. The USB method didn't work for me, even though I used the same method.

Thank you all for your help i am trying to use the method vrkalak used. I will keep you posted.

I tryed the method mentioned and it just makes my device unreadable and i have to reformat it. Anyone know why? Thanks!

Only windows will report it as unreadable, but don't worry, it should work. (I assumed you used the Windows method).

How I understand it is that the program basically dumps all the data onto the USB stick and makes it the equivalent of a CD. Windows can't recognize that for some reason, but you should be able to use it. If you want to use the USB stick for something else in the future, you have to format the drive on a Linux machine.

I tryed booting it also on two different machines and it says there is no boot sector or something. I am trying a couple of different methods now. I will keep you posted. Thanks!
