Then it pauses for 120 seconds, and I get repeated messages of dracut-initqueue[968] Warning /lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexists-\x2fdev\x2froot.sh “[ -e “/dev/root” ]” among others.
I write this by hand but there is a lot of error messages.
In the end it says
warning /dev/disk/by-label/Install-Leap-16.0-x86_64 does not exist
warning /dev/root does not exist
And i get into emergency mode.
could someone please provide assistance to me, I am a Linux novice and I really want to move from Fedora and use OpenSuse KDE
I do not know RUFUS, but what is needed is a byte for byte copy (to the device, thus not to a partition). In Linux one uses best the dd command (and a cp also works). So when your RUFUS has a “byte for byte” copy feature, that could be fine. But RUFUS should not do anything else, like thinking it can create a bootable device, that is wrong. The openSUSE ISO is already bootable, thus no changes required or wanted.
Thank you both for your very fast answers. It solved my issue, I really did not know what I was doing.
I still don’t, but I will find out why I got it to work. Now begins my openSUSE journey
