Quirky Xerus 8.1.6 won't boot from USB drive (Solved)
Posted: Mon 16 Jan 2017, 18:53
Well I created a boot USB pen drive using Unetbootin from Xubuntu 16.04.1 x64 and then, after the bug happened twice, I used Rufus 2.11 in Windows.
The problem is that Xerus 8.1.6 won't complete the boot process on my machine. My PC specs are as follows: Intel Core Duo CPU E7500 (2 cores, 2 threads) @2.93 Ghz, scalable, with 4 GB RAM and Intel Q43/45 integrated GPU.
The boot process says it can't find the /sbin/init folder and when I mounted the ISO in Linux that folder was there. And the /sbin/init folder only has 2 files: "fs-check" and "switch". I took a screenshot of the boot fail and I tried to attach it to this bug report, the problem is that your attachment size limit is 0 bytes (Really? Zero bytes?). So maybe I'll insert the image here from Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_gaqp ... 0oqC9PjTrw The funny part is that, in VirtualBox, Puppy Quirky 8.1.6 X86_64 ISO boots just fine and you can do anything with it. But Puppy is not a VirtualBox distro. I want to carry it in my 8 GB pen drive. I have Puppy Slacko x64 & Puppy Tahr x64 as Live ISO's in 2 USB pen drives and they both work fine. Also they saved many Windows & Linux installations countless times. They're like Army Knives made from Linux. I'm gonna try the Terminal way of putting Xerus ISO on an USB drive, using the dd command. If that fails I don't know how to boot this thing. Please take a look at the screenshot (taken with a mobile phone) and many thanks in advance for any solution for this bug. Best regards, Kafshiel
