[ubuntu-uk] Custom Ubuntu Image pendrive problems
Hi guys perhaps you can help. I'm producing a customised Ubuntu alternate CD at the moment so we can install Ubuntu at work with a custom set of packages, in our case, orientated towards Asterisk. I've followed the instructions on the Ubuntu Wiki and the iso image appears to work fine on a CD. However, we would like to put this iso image on a USB pendrive. I've used unetbootin and usb-creator but both, sadly give the same problem. Initially it boots up fine however when it comes to search for a CD drive it doesn't find the usb disk and fails on that option meaning one cannot continue the install. The specific error message reads The Installation CD-ROM could not be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again (and it then asks you whether you'd like to try again with yes returning the same message and no returning a list of tasks in the install process however you cannot advance without it knowing where it should expect the CD image. Does anyone have ideas on how to solve this or work around it? Thanks, Tim -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Have you tried removing the usb stick and putting it back in when it's searching for the install media? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

It doesn't seem to be making any difference.. :( thanks for the suggestion though!

Have you tried removing the usb stick and putting it back in when it's searching for the install media? Have you actually told the computer to boot from the pendrive - by either changing the boot sequence in the BIOS or by calling up the Boot Menu (if you have that startup option)? Have you tried different USB ports? My EEEPC has three USB ports - two on the right hand side and one left - and only boots from the one on the left.
