[Solved]Trying to "burn" the iso to usb

Hey guys!

Quick question - I'm trying to use a usb thumb drive to install #! (I can't find any CDs lying around). I used the dd method (unetbootin didn't work out well) and it works okay and all. But when I try booting from the flash drive, it fails miserably and I can't actually boot. It just sits there with a blinking cursor. The wiki page made no mention of a bootloader - is that required?

Thanks in advance!

no - you should be good to go.

i always make sure i sync - umount - eject manually following the dd.

in saying that i've had exactly this issue with a liquid lemur beta which i wasn't able to resolve . md5 was ok. :shrug:

Hi,

try to boot with different parameters (nopcmcia acpi=off noapic)

See a full list for debian (stable) here http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/s … 02.html.en

I actually fixed this by removing the usb drive and reinserting the drive before booting Marking this thread solved!

You solved it by turning on the computer
