Sometimes you have to force the issue with Unetbootin.
Start Unetbootin from the console by using this command.You tell it the target USB drive you want it to useCode: Select all
unetbootin installtype=USB targetdrive=/dev/sdb1
the program ran as intended, loaded and burned my iso to the usb
I'll check back and confirm the boot when I have time

Change:
To:Code: Select all
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd
Code: Select all
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash
Did you install it to the first partition. Did you use fat32, ext2 or something else?
I recall you saying the boot flag was set. What type of partition table did you use. Was it MBR or GPT?
