openSUSE 11.2 raw image to LiveUSB

English Open Build Service (OBS)
1

I am having problems with writing my raw image to a LiveUSB. I am using DD and following the instructions here. But when I put it into a system and try to boot it for the first time I am getting to the word GRUB in white with black background and it doesn’t load anything past that.

I have downloaded and rebuilt my appliance a few times now and everything seems to be good with that but no joy on boot-up.

Here is a link to my appliance.

Hi
Did you take it for a test drive?

I am currently behind a firewall that prevents access to that remote sessions or I would. If someone would be so kind as to let me know if it runs via test drive here is the link.

Hi
Will see what i can do, in the meantime, can you confirm the boot flag
is set on the USB device you dd’d the image too?


fdisk -l /dev/sd..

I’m going to move this all to my openSUSE 11.2 laptop and try again, let you know what I find.

Thanks for testing it out for me I appreciate you putting time into this.

Using my Linux laptop and running DD it worked I was able to get it to boot up and everything seems to be 100/100. Thanks for all your help.

Hi
Good to see you have it working, wonder if there is something up with
the other machine you used to test from? Maybe a BIOS update required?

I wouldn’t doubt that it’s a Dell system that’s a bit dated. My laptop’s quite reliable though so I’ll stick with it as the other’s just a work PC.

Thanks again
