i am trying to install openSUSE from a usb pen. i have configured the BIOS to boot from Usb pen. i get “Could not find kernel image gfx boot”. Please help me 
The syslinux.cfg file exsist on the usb pen… so whats the problem?
What image did you use and how did you put it on USB?
i used openSUSE-11.3-KDE4-LiveCD-x86_64, and i installed it to usb using Universal USB Installer
i just got another error while booting from Usb pen. No default or UI configuration directive found _boot , any ideas?
Have a look at this article:
SDB:Live USB stick - openSUSE
If you are using windows, scroll down to the link for the windows dd tool and use this to write the live image to usb.
i use linux mint 11 but i want to change it to opensuse 11.3 how to do that…plz help me…
Hi,
you’ll have to download and install 11.3.
You are aware that the current version is 11.4? (and soon 12.1)
If you really want it, you could get a dvd/live Cd image for 11.3 at
software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.3

I have been installing 12.1 beta releases from a usb, without a lot of trouble (but with some trouble). I have not used “Universal USB Installer” so don’t know how well that works. I just followed the opensuse instructions for installing from a USB.
This has worked well on newer machines where the BIOS supports booting from a USB. On a couple of older machines, I installed PLOP boot manager to add support for USB booting.
On one of those older machines, it started booting then hung part way. I tried a different USB port, and it worked there. As best I can tell, the device name known at boot time was different from the device name that the kernel saw, and that was confusing the boot.
