Hallo, I use "isohybrid <myimage>.iso" for creating an *.iso which can boot from CD or from USB stick. Booting from CD works fine (since years). Booting from USB stick leads to ISOLINUX 4.04 ... EDD: Error 0400 reading sector ... No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! What goes wrong? Searching with google showed many such messages but (at least at the first 20 links) no help. "fdisk -l" shows the image in partition 1 of the stick, type 17. "blkid" tells "TYPE="iso9660" - seems ok. Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Does it have something like "UI vesamenu.c32"? Could you copy here the relevant parts or post a link to it (to the cfg file only)? What's the path to the cfg file in your ISO image?

Either you used a "dd" command using an isohybrid image, or you made it manually (or by any other method). Please clarify so we can help you.

That's the adequate directive for your case. Additionally, current ISOLINUX is capable of finding "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" as well as your "/isolinux/isolinux.cfg". So to reduce potential problems, I would suggest using "/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg" in the ISO image (and no "/isolinux/" directory), then adapt any scripts to it, then mkisofs and then isohybrid. It should work for CD and for USB drives. Best Regards, Ady.
