Could you please post the bootloader (Syslinux?) configuration file, with versions both before and after your edit to add the "persistent" flag? The config file may be named "isolinux/txt.cfg", if you need to look for it on the USB flashdrive. I suspect that your bug may be related to one that I have reported, affecting the "casper" Live CD system: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1159464 If so, then the patch that I have already supplied to fix that bug would probably fix yours as well. -- Ian Bruce -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1097041 Title: persistent USB installs are not really persistent (missing kernel boot option) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1097041/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
