Hello,
Thank both of you for your replies. Unfortunately, my USB drive is in
the hands of some relative, so I still can't test your solutions. I'll
keep you informed ASAP.
Best regards,
Adrien Jaguenet

I've had experiences with unetbootin, and had been a matter of luck,
I've had times when it worked, and other times when it didn't worked
at all,overall I advise not to use it. If you don't have access to a
Unix machine (and thus can't use dd), you can try yumi (though Lucas
solution should work).

Hello,
I'm trying to get GoboLinux to boot from a USB flash drive which
I prepared using UNetBootin. However, after selecting GoboLinux
from UNetBootin's boot menu, I encounter the following error:
"Opps. Can't mount fs. Please mount on /Mount/CD-ROM"
So I try to mount my USB drive (which appears to be on /dev/sdb
on /Mount/CD-ROM with the following command:
"mount /dev/sdb /Mount/CD-ROM"
It yields the following error:
"mount: mounting on /dev/sdb on /Mount/CD-ROM failed: invalid
argument".
Note that changing "sdb" for "sdb1" yields the exact same error.
This happens on both my laptop and my desktop PC. At this point I
don't know what to do next, any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Hi Adrien,
I am not aware of UNetBootin. What I usually do is to 'dd
if=GoboLinux.iso of=/dev/sdX', where sdX is the USB flash drive's
block device.
My guess is that UNetBootin is partitioning the device and putting
the GoboLinux ISO contents on another partition. You could try to
run "fdisk -l" to investigate the partition tables. Another option
is to run "dmesg" and catch the bottom-most messages to find out
which partitions were discovered on the flash drive. Afterwards, you
will need to:
1. mount the partition on /Mount/CD-ROM
2. copy /bin/startGoboLinux to /tmp
3. edit /tmp/startGoboLinux and comment out the line that reads
"/bin/mountGoboLinux"
4. run /tmp/startGoboLinux
Hope this helps,
Lucas
