I want to create a live usb with susestudio.
Unfortunately i couldnt figure it out or it seems impossible.
USB raw image is not a live system image.
It just installs the distro into the usb and extremely slow because of USB is slower than HDD.
It also takes so much space than live images.(600MB iso/2400MB raw)
But read-only live images are so much faster.
I just give an example, dont get me wrong;
Ubuntu live image with usb boots 15 seconds, programs respond very fast.
Ubuntu installed usb boots 40 seconds and programs respond very slow.
USB is not suitable for installing, it is more suitable for live images.
I tryed a few ways to boot live cd iso with usb.
Unetbootin, Universal USB installer doesn’t work. Gives an error about gfxboot.
Suse Imagewriter doesn’t work, it doesnt even boot and give any error just passes.
When I make isohybrid before Suse Imagewriter, it boots but gives an error like “Couldnt find live image configuration”
When I directly copy contents of iso into usb of fat32, it gives another error “No disk found”
I just cant understand why suse makes it so hard.
I tried it with a CD, it didnt give any error but Hey we are in 2011 and still try to boot with CD
alright, i think i am close to solution now
when i boot original opensuse 11.3 dvd with isohybrid before suse imagewriter into usb, we can choose disk as installation source on boot menu and add namescheme=by-label code.
Without selection of source the code is useless.
Now I have to inform installer that it has to use usb disk as installation source not cd/dvd.
I think it must solve the problem
But how can i make it?
Help me please.
Regards…
Even google translate cannot handle it.
But I tried isohybrid and suse imagewriter.
Thanks for the answer
Because I am Greek you know…!!!
Try with syslinux.
I can see that you are Greek.
By the way I am Turkish. Nice to meet you.
But I think the answer is not that simple.
I am not asking a standart live usb distro.
I can make it with original suse cd/dvd
But this problem is for suse studio.
Thanks for answers.

What I would do is make an ISO and then use unbootin to put it on the
flash drive.
Though that doesn’t do persistence for filesystems, ISTR that if you do
that with the live media and leave space for a writable filesystem, you
can set it up so it’ll write to the writable spaces.

At what point do you get the error message, and when you say “But not on
USB”, what specifically fails?

I fail booting with liveusb
Last steps are
“Mounting live image system”
“Couldnt find live image configuration file”
“Reboot in 120 seconds”

What packages are you including in the build? (Specifically, kernel and
any related drivers packages) I’m wondering if the USB storage drivers
are included, or if it’s getting partway through the installation and
then dying because there’s no access to the USB filesystem.
Can you boot into a recovery console from the drive?

my kernel is desktop 2.6.37-9.1
I dont know how to list all 680 packages but it would be easier to tell me which packages must be included.
by the way i didnt include hal
How can I boot into recovery console?
Thank you so much for the answers.
By the way when i make a usb stick raw there is no problem
But it is not a live image, it installs the distro into usb and takes so much space almost like 3Gb.

When booting from the USB stick, do you see a menu option for “recovery”?
What I’m wanting to do is see if there’s a way we can get to a console
prompt where we can run commands.
If you’re using a standard kernel (and the desktop kernel is he right
one), then you should have what you need. But it might not hurt to boot
from the ISO (from CD/DVD) and get to a console prompt as root and type:
lsmod | grep usb
And list that output here. That might also help us without having to do
so from the USB stick.
You may need hal for USB to work properly, but my memory’s a little fuzzy
on that point. Let’s start by trying to get to a root console from the
stick or from the ISO boot and go from there.
Something else that might be obvious - are you sure your system supports
booting from USB? (It sounds like it does since you get to the point of
an error message, but it’s the sort of thing I like to ask just in case
we get down the path a bit and then realize that it’s not fully supported
with your hardware - better to learn that earlier rather than later.)

Unfortunately I dont see any option called recovery.
Options are keyboard and language selection, failsafe
I can see my usb with “lsmod | grep usb” command on LiveCD.
I included hal but nothing changed.
My system supports usb, i can make live usb with original opensuse 11.3 cd and dvd’s.
this problem cause of susestudio developers didnt include liveusb.
I dont want any persistance, only live
I am trying to make it with my own.
I have tried everyway that i see on forums, google search, bla bla but failed
And no answer in suse studio users, I am really stucked at the moment.
Thanks for the answers.

I’ll give it a try tomorrow when I have a few minutes, I have built
LiveUSB media out of output from Studio before (I’m pretty sure about
that), but it’s been a while and I don’t recall exactly how I did it.

I didnt have to select so much package cuz dependencies made it for me.
I sent my susestudio account with pm. You can see it closer now.
Developers answered me.
They said hybrid live iso feature is not supported yet.
What a shame, it is really disappointing.
The integration must be bloody easy. Why not ?
In 21. century we are being forced to use CD/DVD
Hi
I used LiveCD images with imagewriter to create bootable USB devices on numerous occasions? How big is the image?
it is like 600mb
i have used suse studio imagewriter
but it didnt boot just passed.
i have done isohybrid with my own before imagewriter
But it errors;
“Couldnt find Live image configuration file”
I can make a live Cd and installable DVD on USB with original opensuse iso’s.
So my pc doesnt have any problem to boot live usb images.
SuseStudio developers told me that isohybrid live feature is not supported yet.
I wonder if there is any other way that i can try?
Please help me.
Regards.
