tazusb pb ?
  • ChristopheChristophe December 2010
    I follow the guide in the documentation to create a liveusb
    I first formatted thedrive as indicated and see a strange message

    extlinux: cannot find device for path /media/flash/boot/extlinux

    Then it seems to me that the files are there, but when I try to boot from the USB drive, my vaio says "missing operating system" then boots from the hd. Any idea ?


    here is what i get:

    ***************************************

    root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazusb gen-liveusb /dev/sda1

    Gen a LiveUSB media
    ===============================================================================
    Mounting cdrom device...
    /dev/cdrom on /media/cdrom type iso9660 (ro,relatime)
    Installing a new MBR to: /dev/sda [ OK ]
    Mounting USB target device...

    Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet
    No ip address specified and hostname not found
    Copying needed files from cdrom... [ OK ]
    Installing bootloader: extlinux
    extlinux: cannot find device for path /media/flash/boot/extlinux
    ===============================================================================

    Do you want to exit Tazusb or reboot system (Exit/reboot) ? Exit

    This is the problem:
    "I first formatted thedrive as indicated and see a strange message"

    Run tazusb from xterm,let it do the complete install from format to end.

    This is exactly what i did the first time ie running it from xtem

    root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazusb gen-liveusb /dev/sda1

    I understand the problem is related to the message...
    Please advise what i should do differently to avoid the problem which generates this message........
    Tx

    (i went to the tazusb script and tried to track down the problem... manually running the extlinux command on the properly mounted flashdrive issues the same extlinux error)
