Bug#410512: Further information, new USB-stick works
I continued trying the installation from USB-memory, this time with
another memory stick, this time 512 MB. The longer method with
syslinux and copying files on stick by hand produced on booting the
message:
No operating system found
When I did install-mbr, I got
MBR
Boot failure
Next I tried zcatting the boot.img.gz, I worked with the same set of
files as on saturday. This worked, boot went OK and I installed
successfully.
Is it somehow possible to know before trying all methods and different
USB memories what way of creating the USB boot media works? Or a
simpler and faster way than trying installation to check if the
created USB memory is OK?
I used the USB memory I tried first, the 256 MB size, two and a half
years ago to install this same host. Then the only way I got it to
boot was with GRUB.
