The USB stick was created using mkdiskimage and syslinux, then the content of the Live Gnome CD copied. dd of the iso image to the device (/dev/sda) doesn't produce a bootable image, at least this thinkpad cannot boot with it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Also, I'm not aware of any reports that this doesn't work on a T60. As for converting a live cd iso with mkdiskimage, I've no idea if that is supposed to work. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Didn't use /mnt/boot/i386/mkbootdisk though, but I guess that it does the usual thing. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm sorry but converting a live cd iso with mkdiskimage is not supported since we have hybrid support in kiwi simply set hybrid="true" in your config.xml iso type and dump the iso via dd on the stick -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
