Installing Kolibrios into USB flash issue with isolinux.bin
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2015 12:40 am
Hi all,
This weekend I wanted to try Kolibrios, so I decided to install it on USB flash 4GB. I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Booting_from_USB_flash. Everything was all right until I tried to boot it from the USB. At the boot time I have got this message isolinux.bin missing or corrupt. So, I decided to redo everything on the tutorial again but it still didn't work, then I realized that probably the problem was the MBR of the USB flash. For everybody having this problem, you need to follow all the steps of the tutorial from the link that I have shared up here and in the end copying the mbr.bin from syslinux to the USB MBR. You can do that with dd command:
Arch Linux:
Ubuntu, Debian:
I hope this will be helpful for everybody that are experiencing the same problem
