Luke and Sasha are working on a new USB format that they feel will allow more machines to boot and support VM + Stick <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/USB_format" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/USB_format</a> Perhaps the issue you are running into (which we have definitely seen before) is related to some of the ones they are looking at and part of why they need two boot partitions that are slightly different. <div class="gmail_quote"> On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 1:32 AM, Bernie Innocenti <<a href="mailto:bernie@codewiz.org">bernie@codewiz.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello Peter & Jeremy, I've found an ordinary desktop PC (with Phoenix Award BIOS 6.00PG) that won't boot off a USB stick created by livecd-tools-024 with syslinux (tested both versions 3.75 and 3.81). The boot process drops to the "boot:" prompt with an error message: could not find kernel image: linux The same USB stick boots fine on any other computer I could find. Does it seem like a syslinux bug? And if turns out to be a known BIOS bug, is there a good workaround? -- // Bernie Innocenti - <a href="http://codewiz.org/" target="_blank">http://codewiz.org/</a> \X/ Sugar Labs - <a href="http://sugarlabs.org/" target="_blank">http://sugarlabs.org/</a> _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </blockquote></div> -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove Caroline@SolutionGrove.com 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax
