Re: trouble mounting installation media error



I fixed the problem, I could have done this with the earlier ISO, that was CD ROM size.
But I used Rufus to write it, and it asks if I want ISO mode so I can access the files later, or DD mode.
Previously I selected ISO mode, but I wondered if that is why the installer could not access the installation media.
So I rewrote it with DD mode, and plugged the USB drive back in, and it read it.
I didn't have to abort the place in the installation, just redoing the media and plugging it in worked.
Just thought others can benefit from this.

Subject: trouble mounting installation media error

Hello,
I've tried it with the net install CD size image, and now I've tried it with the DVD size version of 11.7.
Both times, I get past the third step, the keyboard selection, and it says
couldn't mount installation media
I've tried unplugging my USB drive and plugging it in again, but it still cannot mount it.
It is a 4 GB USB flash cartridge.
I tried plugging the install cartridge into another USB port, but it didn't make a difference.
About a year or so back, I used the same card for the Bullseye I installed on the same i386 computer and it read from the cartridge fine.
Maybe an earlier Bullseye image will work.
Any ideas?
Thanks
 
Glenn
