explain the process you took to add the iso contents to your usb drive. Also paste 'lspci' output and confirm your bios supports booting from a usb device. *** Bug 287948 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Same identical problem here on my pc. See the duplicate bug 287948 for detailed info. I use the process of "http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Bootable_USB_with_persistance" The same usbdrive and pc is working ok. When the Gentoo 10 livecd boot up no usb drive, only cdrom is searched. I burn a dvd and the livecd works. for those of you that have booted the livedvd on a usb stick and it didn't work but you know for sure it works with others, should know that the method of allowing the iso image to boot from a usb device is not supported on all bioses. You will need to use old methods as described in http://wiki.sabayonlinux.org/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Bootable_USB_with_persistance or others which don't use syslinux's isohybrid utility to boot the Ten LiveDVD from a usb device. Hope this helps clarify why it doesn't work for your hardware. Please Test these revised images; http://mirrors.sfo1.gni.com/Gentoo/ten/ I've got the same issue, but if I booted gentoo64, it works (but then there's no appropriate video mode found. (In reply to comment #6) > Please Test these revised images; > http://mirrors.sfo1.gni.com/Gentoo/ten/ > I tried this image. Now the USB stick is found, but there's a crash at the moment that X starts. With gentoo64, again, there are no fb modes available during early boot... same here, with new iso I can boot from usb but X doesn't start and the pc hangs forcing me to brutally reboot.

I need others to confirm it works on their cards. There will be a final revision coming this week. Created attachment 206451 [details]

Please try 10.1 and report your findings. http://mirrors.sfo1.gni.com/Gentoo/ten/ (In reply to comment #1) > explain the process you took to add the iso contents to your usb drive. Also > paste 'lspci' output and confirm your bios supports booting from a usb device. > There are new iso images located at: http://bouncer.gentoo.org/fetch/gentoo-10.1-livedvd/x86/ [x86] http://bouncer.gentoo.org/fetch/gentoo-10.1-livedvd/amd64/ [amd64] Report back, keep in mind even if your system does boot from a usb device, it doesn't mean it will support hybrid isos. 10.1 works fine boot with usb disk. Works for me, too. I also tested here with 10.1 and it worked as expected. I am going to close the bug, please reopen if it does not work for you. |
