First, allow me to apologize for taking such a long time to get back to this small project. I just had other things on my plate. My apology extends to everyone who has offered suggestions or advice, but most particularly to Ady <ady-sf at hotmail.com>, who has clearly gone the extra mile to try to help me get this boot problem worked out. Before describing the results of his last set of

Hi All, First post and hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction for this problem. I did a bit of googling and found some hints but nothing concrete. We are using Syslinux and a FAT32 USB thumb drive (single partition) to boot a customized Debian OS which works very well with newer motherboards. However we have a few older Dell machines that simply hangs when trying to boot

I was doing a laptop repair job today and needed to boot from a USB thumb drive, in order to free up the CD/DVD burner. Fortunately, the laptop to be repaired permitted one to boot from a USB thumb drive. However, there are still PCs out there that can't boot from a thumb drive (I have two), so I was wondering if it's pos to use the CHAIN module to boot from a thumb drive ? I looked at

Has anyone experimented with installing XCP from a USB thumb drive? Is it possible? How was the installation media installed to the USB thumb drive (e.g., dd)?

I've been poking at this for quite a while, and have never been able to get it to work. I've found a couple links with some partial truths: ? http://syslint.com/syslint/how-to-make-a-usb-boot-disk-for-centosrhel-from-iso-file/ ? http://brakkee.org/site/2013/05/09/creating-a-usb-install-for-centos-6-4/ The first one talks about converting a standard iso to a 'hybrid' image, using:?

I took the "everything" iso and did the dd command to my 16G thumb drive. I booted and entered my usual ks=http://xxx on the boot line. All good so far. It gets my kickstart file and installation begins. At some point it says Installing libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts (492/1948) Retrying download of 1:libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts-5.3.6.1-21.el7.norarch then after 10 retries it fails. I

I am running CentOS 4.7. I have a USB flash (thumb) drive that has a bunch of files placed there by Windows. I plugged it into the CentOS machine, and when I listed the files under "/media/usb-name", there was nothing there. I created an empty file: touch blah and it showed up when I did list it. I noticed, checking dmesg that it was attached to /dev/sdb. So I did a quick

Hi, I can create centos 7.4 DVD. But how to create centos bootable USB flash drive? Thanks! Regards Andrew

Had seen various folks ask about how to do this (I did mine long ago and far away to make my Windows machine dual-bootable to Win or CentOS) and while looking for some HD repair diagnostics, ran across this and thought it may be useful to some folks. http://rufus.akeo.ie/ I've not yet used it, but it looks easy. YMMV, of course, as may mine! :-) Bill

Hello, I cannot boot with GRUB and SYSLINUX from a logical partition on my USB drive.

I've just done this with the latest DVD using dd if=CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1810.iso of=/dev/sdb where sdb was the USB drive as assigned by the kernel when I plugged it in. I got this by running tail -f /var/log/messages before inserting the
