If the iso is booted as a hybrid disk kiwi checks for the MBR id stored in the iso. The log said there where three disk devices: sda, sdb and sdc one of them is the hybrid disk and kiwi mounts them one after the other and searches for the file: boot/grub/mbrid which is not found on any of the disks. That's the reason why the boot failed at the end I have no clue why the file is missing. So first I'd like to know if the file is present in the iso. Could you do the following: mount -o loop openSUSE-GNOME-LiveCD-Build1056-i686.iso /mnt ls -l /mnt/boot/grub/ does the file "mbrid" exist ?

Do you do it the following way: dd if=file.iso of=/dev/<stick-device> bs=32k then boot from this stick and then you see the error ? It sounds totally strange to me that the mbrid is on the iso but can't be found later when kiwi mounts it as a disk again if you boot with: kiwidebug=1 you get a shell as you know. In that shell can you find out which device is the stick and perform a manual mount of the first partition. After that tell me what you see there can you find the mbrid file ?

I ran it again with kiwidebug=1 and at the shell I could mount sdc1 via mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt all I got is a warning that it was mounted ro only. /mnt showed all the files, as far as I can tell, that I see if I plug the usb stick into a running linux system. To comment 10: I'm not sure how to do the losetup using the usb-stick, so I downloaded the .iso again and all the steps worked, that is loop0p1 existed. Is there a way to recreate the iso from the usb stick, so that I can doublecheck the sha1 and see if imagewriter worked?

Here are the steps I took: * downloaded iso * checked sha1 * dd command as in comment 12 using /dev/sdc * boot with kiwidebug and checked mbrid after mounting the usb stick * => same error message I can try it in a bit on some different computers in case that helps. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Maybe a BIOS update helps. I guess the problem is that the BIOS see this as a CD/DVD (as we put a iso structure here) and it does not populate the partition table which then results in no partitions on linux I often saw this on HP machines but they even refuse to boot from the stick I'm afraid I can't fix this -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
