I dd'd the latest Fedora Live iso onto a USB drive, put it into a brand spanking new Dell Latitude E7470, hit F12 at Dell logo and got "Selected boot device failed". Do I need to make it bootable using fdisk or some such? Mike

...nt is the Void Linux iso. I'd first like to ask about something that was suggested as a possible solution but about which I could find no documentation. I was led to believe that it would be possible, using syslinux, to boot an iso image located within a partition by somehow specifying its address on disk. I see nothing in syslinux documentation, guidelines, or forum postings, that suggests that this is really possible. So, am I correct in assuming that the individual who suggested that is just plain wrong? In order to succeed in booting into the the Void live environment the iso pr...

My manager took the "binary DVD" and dd'd it onto a flash drive... and it booted. No problems at all. mark

Please ... any info on how to proceed??? After I made sure it had the correct sha256sum, and after I burned it to DVD, and and dd'd the DVD back to a temp file and again checked the sha256sum of the temp file, all was OK. Same sha256sum. So, I rebooted the machine and it booted up from the DVD. I got a message that it was not using VNC, Then after that immediately an error came out saying something about xbi...something...

...sks, 16M, 512M, 4G, only the 512 is working on my soekris 4801 other 2 show: Cannot get disk parameters coming from chain.c32 chain.c32 is not to blame, as bios also gives similar error > boot 80 No Boot device available, enter monitor. all 3 CFs are readable/writable on my desktop after fiddling with various fdisk parameters, I dd'd the image off the 512, and put it on both the other 2 CFs but theyre still unbootable. Any suggestions on how to save these CFs from the scrap heap ? I considered hacking some printfs into chain.c32, but failure of BIOS made it seem pointless (though I...

Using CentOS 5.4 Xen Virtualization "stock install" Added rpmforge NTFS extension for mount command. Scenario: Have mirror dd'd off to "backup" unmounted LV contained Windows machine.

What's the easiest way to transition to a larger HD when using LVM2? I'm running Centos 4.4. I'm going from a 20gb HD to a 40gb HD. I've already DD'd it to the 40gb HD. So now I have 20gb of unused space. Ideally, I'd like to make it one big physical space for the logical space instead of making another physical partition to expand the logical. Here is what I have now with the system on hda, and with another HD of hdb for moving dat...

Thanx to all who replied. I downloaded using torrent and that was indeed fast. However .... after I made sure it had the correct sha256sum, and after I burned it to DVD, and and dd'd the DVD back to a temp file and again checked the sha256sum of the temp file, all was OK. Same sha256sum. So, I rebooted the machine and it booted up from the DVD.

...first reading. I currently understand that a set active/bootable flag prevents the USB stick from showing up in BIOS, and that without that flag it begins to boot but fails with files not found. > After that, if anyone wants to produce a test image that I can simply > download and directly dd to a USB stick, > [other mail] > Well, I now have a _minimal_ install of ArchLinux If you installed Archlinux from an ISO image, then this is probably a test candidate for USB stick.

...had been running for more than 4 years on a 60G LVM volume.  It has had the occasional snapshot during that time though all have been "removed" using the virt-manager gui so I used qemu-img as you suggested. # qemu-img convert /dev/trk-kvm-02-vg/rt44 -O qcow2 /mnt/scratch/rt44.qcow2 dd'd the qcow2 image back on to the LV after testing it boots OK directly from the image and it is in production again.

...de - they offer RHEL... and their OMSA DVD boots... into CentOS. <g> <snip> And about CentOS on laptops... I've got this circa 2009 HP Netbook. The ancient Ubuntu netbook-remix was way obsolete, so I needed to update it (I only use it while traveling, for email and browsing). I just dd'd a CentOS 6.9 i386 live iso to a flash drive (and I still HATE systemd)... and it booted. Perfectly. First time. Then I rebooted, and "install" is an option. Did that, and it worked perfectly. Happy camper, here. mark

...ese patches tell me to do, and then I installed the new version. While the old 2.6.2 version runs perfectly, the new ones seem to completely ignore the --fuzzy option. Here's the exact, detailed (and boring) description of what I do: On a remote machine, created a directory 'foo' and dd'd one megabyte of /dev/urandom to foo1.txt and then copied foo1.txt to foo2.txt. Then I created 'foo' directory on the local machine and copied foo1.txt here. Then I executed the following command several times: rsync -avP --fuzzy --bwlimit=10 remotemachine:foo/ foo/ (and of course rem...
