Based on the updates.img[1] think the installer is looking for the iso
image of the cdrom, can you try copying the whole XS iso image to the
root of the usbdrive, rename repodata, packages, and media.repo.
Try that first, if that fails you might have to revert the changes to
isolinux.cfg and try again.

I don't have another Linux box available here to run mkusbinstall. I tried 
unetbootin but it wouldnt make it bootable so tried another app called Rufus 
iirc which is like DD for windows to move the ISO to USB. 

I booted into rescue mode and mounted /dev/sdb1 and here are the contents of /:

Packages/
TRANS.TBL
autorun.ico
Autorun.inf
images/
isolinux/
ldlinux.sys
media.repo
olpcxs.ks
repodata/
syslinux.cfg

In images/ are install.img, updates.img.

Using the windows tool is not recommended, use mkusbinstall[1] from the
XS-repo, and you would need livecd-tools from Fedora 16 or greater
installed. Which version of the windows tool are are you using? Maybe we
can work with what was created, can you show me the layout that was
created on the usbdrive?

[Server-devel] Error Installing XS 0.7 from USB: can't find image #1 on disk

2012-07-27 Thread Brian Ghidinelli


Props to Logic Supply, I have my Atom AG150 in hand and am trying to get 
XS 0.7 installed before I leave for Uganda.  I created my bootable USB 
drive on Windows and it boots up the CentOS installer with no problems. 
 I can get all the way through the creation of the partitions when it 
kicks back with an error to the effect of: "Can't find Image #1 - please 
copy it to the local drive"  with Retry or Exit buttons.


I tried a stock install as well as a modified install according to the 
directions at 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Techniques_and_Configuration#Installing_from_USB. 
 The directions don't seem to be quite right as there is no 
syslinux/syslinux.cfg file but rather an isolinux/isolinux.cfg file with 
the append lines in it.  I modified it to point at /sdb1 (which is how 
my USB drive shows up) and olpcks.cfg and still resulted in the same error.


Anyone installed 0.7 from a USB stick have perhaps updated notes not 
captured in the wiki that will get the install process to work?


Thanks,


Brian
