[gentoo-user] liveusb not working
Hello, I followed all the steps in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml and created a liveusb on a memory stick; instead of the image livecd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso, I used the more recent 2008. When trying to boot from the liveusb I get: No operating system found. Do I have to use 2007? are there other steps needed to be taken? Thought I would ask before trying the directions again. Thanks, -- Valmor

Thanks, I recently created LiveUSB stick with Gentoo follow instructions in the link above and using http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/releases/x86/autobuilds/20090401/install-x86-minimal-20090401.iso ISO. It works nicely. -- Sergey

It works nicely. Right; the minimal iso. Will give it a try later. BTW, I tried the whole thing again following the doc (using the livecd iso) and got: Missing operating system Operating system not found Thanks, -- Valmor

You didn't copy MBR or boot loader to USB stick. 2. You boot from other device :) Btw, did you set bootable flag for the partition with Gentoo? Thanks, -- Valmor -- Sergey
