Some USB Writing utilities alter the labels of the partitions included in the ISO image. This causes the boot to fail. There are workarounds to fix the failure, but that is beyond the scope of this article. For best results, it is recommended that you NOT use these types of utilities to create your Live USB. Some of the more widely known utilities that fall into this category are:
There are many methods of creating Live USB images using Linux. This article lists only some options. Recommendation is always to use copy as it is methods like dd. But Suse image writer and also rufus or ventoy are widely used for the EndeavourOS ISO.
Linux distributions running GNOME can easily make a live CD through nautilus and gnome-disk-utility. Simply right-click on the .iso file, and select Open With Disk Image Writer. When GNOME Disk Utility opens, specify the flash drive from the Destination drop-down menu and click Start Restoring.
After copy the ISO file/s you need to make sure the USB device is fully syncing the files! File manager should do that in most cases, but to make sure open a terminal and run sync-command there till it frees the prompt again:
We do not recommend using etcher anymore as there are privacy concerns, etcher is Anonymously reporting errors and usage information. It is not clear if this is done. Also, it wants you to validate that you agree with it. Lately, users reporting also burned sticks does not work properly for the latest ISO.
USBWriter, and Rufus are free USB image writers that support .iso files (which EndeavourOS uses) with ease. Just head to the Source Forge link for USBWriter for Windows and download the program. Once downloaded, follow the similar instructions for them below:
Leave all settings from Rufus window as they are and click Start, this will pop up a question window that asks to burn hybrid ISO in ISO-mode or DD-mode, choose DD-mode to be sure it will not be modified at all.
Hi, this post is just a information for people like me, that fall into the same trap when trying to create an bootable usb stick of a HPE Service Pack for ProLiant with rufus and get an error like "Unable to mount the file system [cdrom]" at boot. Because there are a set of information i collected, i want to share this with others.
Problem:
First thing, why you are trying to make a bootable usb stick, may because you have a slow internet connection for update inside intelligent provisioning or the downloads in intelligent provisioning fail. So now you picked up a mess when:
You try to write a usb flash drive with the iso image of HPE ProLiant Service Pack - SPP AND you decide to write the image with Rufus (my version is 3.4 with standard settings) because, as like me, you know Rufus as one of the fastest an simplest usb tools. Thereforce it was your first choice. However afterwards, your ProLiant Server won't boot from the stick or he does not recognize it as bootable, or you getting mount errors.
Some people say:
Rufus finds two config files, one at /usb/isolinux.cfg and another at /system/isolinux.cfg. It picks the one at /usb but this is the wrong one, and points to it at \syslinux.cfg. So you have to edit \syslinux.cfg and change it to:
In my tests, this was true for usb sticks greater 32GB. Without the syslinux.cfg corrections the usb stick was not recognized at boot time (F11). But it had no impact on sticks with or below 32GB. There it makes no difference which of the two isolinux.cfg the syslinux.cfg file points to. They always where recognized and booting. But:
I did my best, but at this point i have to say, there's no "rufus-way" to get the "very special" HP SPP ISO working. At the end, the syslinux version used inside the ISO and that used by rufus is not compatible. At least i did'nt find it get working.
I've run to this problem and tried everything on a ML150 G9, I used Ventoy and bang! It works every time with any kind of ISO. After you installed it on the USB Stick, you just need to drop the ISOs inside of it.
i did not know ventoy before. I gave it a try and played arround with that tool. Very nice!
Such a simple way for running iso bootable things. I tried with Service Pack Proliant and a lot of other iso's i have. All boot up wonderful. Thank you for that nice tool tip
If you change the top syslinux.cfg as described above, and then change "cdrom" to "usb" in system/isolinux.cfg and in boot/grub/grub.cfg, it will work. At least in BIOS mode which is good enough for SPP. There are more files to change for EFI /UEFI mode.
The usbkey.exe file is located in \usb\usbkey folder of the SPP 2020.03.2 package. When using this tool to create a bootable USB SPP 2020.03.2, the usbkey will not function properly and the server will boot to a 'grub>' prompt.
You need a recent SystemRescue, and a USB stick with enough capacity. Youshould use a 2GB memory stick or anything larger. You will have to get yourfirmware (BIOS/UEFI) to boot from the USB device before it attempts to boot fromthe local disk. This can be configured either in the firmware settings or bypressing a key at boot time.
In the previous steps RESCUEXYZ refers to the version number, eg: RESCUE906for SystemRescue-9.06. Rufus should automatically use the label which was seton the ISO filesystem and hence it should set this label automatically on theUSB device. You should not have to change it but you should make sure the labelis correct as this is required for the device to start properly. What matters isthat the label matches the value passed to the archisolabel boot option in theboot loader configuration files on the device (grubsrcd.cfg andsysresccd_sys.cfg) so files can be found at the time the system starts fromthe USB device.
When using rufus this way, a USB memory stick with a writable filesystem is created. This allowsyou to easily copy for example autorun scripts or YAML config files onto the USB stick witha regular file manager.
The recommended tool for installing SystemRescue to a memory stick on Linuxis SystemRescue USB writer.It runs as a text-UI (or optionally, pure cli) program and is distributedas AppImage. This means it can be easily run on most Linux systems without dealingwith dependency issues or similar.
This utility supports SystemRescue version 10.x but the latest version does notsupport SystemRescue version 11.x yet. Please use an alternative method until anew version of the usb writer is released.
SystemRescue USB writer creates a USB memory stick with a writable filesystem. This allowsyou to easily copy for example autorun scripts or YAML config files onto the USB stick witha regular file manager.
This is a minimalist approach with a tool that is already installed on most Linux systems: dd.Make sure you use the right device with dd as the operation isdestructive if you write to the wrong device.
Another approach to install Systemrescue makes use of the software Ventoy.Ventoy allows you to create a bootable multi ISO USB drive without the need to reformat every time you want to use a different ISO.
Hoy vamos a hablarte a fondo de Rufus, una de las aplicaciones de referencia que siempre suele ocupar los primeros puestos de las listas de herramientas para crear unidades USB de arranque o booteables. Estas unidades bootables o de arranque son capaces de ejecutarse automticamente en un ordenador sin necesidad de que tenga un sistema operativo instalado, y sirven para instalar un sistema operativo o realizar operaciones con otras herramientas.
El artculo lo vamos a empezar hablando sobre qu es Rufus y para qu sirve la aplicacin. Una vez aclaremos eso, pasaremos a explicarte paso a paso cmo utilizar esta herramienta a la hora de crear tus USB de arranque.
Rufus fue lanzado oficialmente el 14 de diciembre de 2011. Naci de la necesidad que su creador empez a sentir de reemplazar la aplicacin HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool para Windows, que una vez fue una de las alternativas ms rpidas y sencillas para crear un disco de arranque. Frente a ella, Rufus esgrima el no tener que instalarse y el contar con una interfaz mucho ms moderna que otras alternativas.
Con el tiempo, la aplicacin ha ido evolucionando mientras mantena su misin, la de ofrecer una herramienta sencilla y completa a la hora de crear un USB bootable. Actualmente cuenta con dos versiones diferentes, una que se ejecuta en tu ordenador y otra porttil que puedes llevar en un USB para utilizarla en cualquier otro equipo.
La funcin de Rufus es la de crear USBs de arranque. Con ellos puedes hacer varias cosas, como crear medios de instalacin de otros sistemas operativos mediante sus imgenes ISO. Tambin puedes montar el sistema operativo en el USB para trabajar con l en cualquier ordenador que no lo tenga, e incluso grabar datos con los que actualizar el firmware o la BIOS de un ordenador desde DOS.
Se centra sobre todo en la facilidad de uso, lo que quiere decir que sacrifica algunas opciones que puedes encontrarte en otras herramientas, como bajar las imgenes ISO desde Internet en vez de necesitar tenerlas en el ordenador. Pero a cambio tienes una aplicacin muy sencilla de utilizar incluso para aquellos sin conocimientos tecnolgicos.
Adems, se trata de una aplicacin extremadamente ligera que slo ocupa 1 MB de espacio, lo que hace que puedas utilizarla prcticamente en cualquier ordenador. El uno requisito es que tiene que utilizarse necesariamente en un ordenador con Windows, con una versin de 32 o 64 bits de Windows 7 o posteriores.
Por ltimo, Rufus utiliza una Licencia Pblica General de GNU (GPL) versin 3 o posterior. Esto quiere decir que su cdigo es libre, y cualquiera puede acceder a l para compartirla o modificar la aplicacin, siempre y cuando la herramienta resultante aplique tambin la licencia GPLv3. El cdigo fuente de la aplicacin lo puedes encontrar en Github.
