Topic: Could not find kernel image : linux ?

This appeared while booting from USB, using the latest gparted-live-0.5.1-1 and tried both zip and iso. Anyone having the same problem? Really need help here...

Re: Could not find kernel image : linux ?

Hi,

could not find kernel image : Linux

This is a message from syslinux / isolinux boot manager and means, that /live/vmlinuz could not be found. It comes up, when
1. /live/vmlinuz is missing,
2. you used another location or folder name (Linux is case-sensitive; live and Live are two different folders !)

If you use "isohybrid" ability to create a bootable USB stick, it should work. Just copy the ISO image sector by sector to your stick (CAUTION: YOU LOOSE ALL FORMER CONTENT !). The easiest way under Windows is using a hexeditor (like "HxD") or dd4win (more complex). With Linux, use "dd".

If you want to use an other folder name, you have to correct path within "isolinux.cfg" (for vmlinuz AND initrd.img).  "filesystem.squashfs" needs an additional argument (live-media-path=any/where for /any/where/filesystem.squashfs) to append-line of isolinux.cfg.
