Curious... based on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo I ran:
sudo qemu -hda /dev/sdb -m 256 -std-vga and that emulated a booting system that DID work with the thumb drive. I note that the thumb drive appeared in QEMU as: ata0 master: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (1953 MBytes) Could it be that the problem is that my (real) system is treating the thumb drive as "USB RMD-FDD" (is that ReMovable Device - Floppy Disk Drive?) -- usb-creator produces flash drive that won't boot on my system: could not find kernel image https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
