Dear Maintainer,
* tried to install debian from USB stick
* dd /dev/zero, cat ISO> /dev/sdUSBstick, sync, eject, reboot
* syslinux.bin missing
* I expect Debian with xfce on my pc
Which exact image did you use, and which exact list of commands?
Cheers,
Julien
* debian-6.0.6-amd64-i386-netinst.iso (from main debian.org page)
* debian-live-6.0.6-i386-xfce-desktop.iso
* debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso (daily build)
* debian-testing-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso (weekly build)
list of commands:
# dmesg
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
# dd if=debian-6.0.6-amd64-i386-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdb
# sync
# eject /dev/sdb
# reboot
md5sum is match
all ISO's give same result
result is error message: "syslinux.bin missing or corrupt"
the same USB stick with any ISO load fine on another PC
i am experimented alot and determined that if i try 'flexible way' from
official debian docs to create USB stick and use fat16 filesystem on my
USB stick, then i dont see error message: "syslinux.bin missing or
corrupt". i see black screen and blinking cursor.
P.S.
i cant understand anything. im confused. BIOS dont act in loading from
USB. BIOS only put syslinux in memory and give it control. then
question: if my BIOS so special and cannot find syslinux.bin in MBR
record then why he know that he want SYSLINUX.BIN???
thanks
dmitry
