I tried to boot from a USB stick on which I wrote the iso image of the latest Tumbleed 20151022 using SUSE Studio Imagewriter on a Dell laptop Lattitude E5500.
Obviously I rearranged in the BIOS to start looking for a bootable image from a USB device.
The laptop did not see a bootable image on the USB stick and started from the hard disc.
I searched the Internet for a solution, but did not find one.
Anyone succeeded in installing openSUSE on this laptop?
Are you sure you wrote the Image to the raw stick, not its first partition?
I always use SUSE Studio Imagewriter to prepare a bootable USB stick and it always worked. I assume below the surface dd is used to write the image on the stick. I will follow the route about the boot flag. I also found easy2boot which is supposed to boot its own image on the USB stick, after which you can choose which iso image to boot from. You can have several iso images on the stick. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
