I used to be able to make a writable USB thumbdrive installer by following
the directions found at
https://hyper.to/blog/link/debian-installer-on-a-usb-key/, altering the
name of the release and device. Now I can't get it to work. When I boot
the resulting thumb drive, I get this:
List of all partitions:
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown -
block (0,0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 Debian 3.2.78-1
The system I'm using to create the thumb drive is Debian 8. I've tried to
make installers for 7 and 8 without success. I used to be able to make
viable writable install thumbdrives for Debian 7 and 8. What happened?
