OK, I got further with solving the problem, it seems to work now.
Steps I did: - make a vfat -F 16 onto the USB stick - syslinux -sf /dev/sdx1 (sdx = USB stick) - copy the contents of the alternate CD to the stick as close as possible, including the hidden .disk directory (I used tar) - copy the isolinux/isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg - Since the vfat does not support symlinks the dists directory can't be used that way by the installation procedure, it does not find the symlink stable -> hardy . Thus, go to dists and mv hardy stable - boot from stick until the error message of the missing CDROM comes (red screen) - open shell with ctrl-F2 - mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom (or whereever the USB stick is found) - proceed with installation -- Can't install from USB pendrive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260672 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
