<div class="gmail_quote">2009/7/10 Mike Cloaked <<a href="mailto:mike.cloaked@gmail.com">mike.cloaked@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> I have an interesting phenomenon for install (failure) off a usbkey for F11 that I would like to understand. I used the method at <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#How_to_Make_a_bootable_USB_Drive_to_Install_Fedora_11_instead_of_using_a_physical_DVD" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#How_to_Make_a_bootable_USB_Drive_to_Install_Fedora_11_instead_of_using_a_physical_DVD</a> (which I wrote), to try and install F11 on a Samsung NC10 netbook. The livecd-iso-to-disk command was executed on a machine running up to date F11 to create the bootable key. The NC10 would not boot at all off the key, and just gave a single cursor and nothing else. The boot flag was indeed set. I then used unetbootin to install the boot.iso file onto the same key, and the NC10 immediately booted to the install just fine. I found this weird and although I have managed to do the install now I wondered if there was a rational explanation why the Fedora method failed but the unetbootin method worked in this case? Has anyone else experienced this?</blockquote><div> </div><div>yes. try --reset-mbr</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> -- View this message in context: <a href="http://www.nabble.com/Two-methods-to-make-installable-f11-usbkey---only-one-works%21-tp24422859p24422859.html" target="_blank">http://www.nabble.com/Two-methods-to-make-installable-f11-usbkey---only-one-works%21-tp24422859p24422859.html</a> Sent from the Fedora Test List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-test-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-test-list@redhat.com">fedora-test-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list</a> </blockquote></div> -- Linux counter #213090
