\ubcd\tools\ubcd2usb halts with error message
This has reference to the utility available on Ubcd4.1.1 \ubcd\tools\ubcd2usb.
Done the needful and when tried to boot from a USB Flash Drive. After booting system halts displaying a message something as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sysliux 3.36 2007-02-10 CBIOS copyright H. Peter Anvin
could NOT find kernel image:linux
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is next?
Thanks in advance.

Update syslinux.
See: viewtopic.php?t=1393

Syslinux and isolinux tries to search by default for a file called 'linux' to boot from, when it finds no config file (syslinux.cfg or isolinux.cfg). There is no file "linux" on ubcd. Syslinux should find its configuration file.swdamie wrote:(2) What exactly meaned by the remark "could NOT find kernel image:linux "?
Check if there is a syslinux.cfg file in x:\syslinux\ on your usb thumb drive.
The previous version was syslinux 3.63, not 3.36.swdamie wrote:I tried to find "kernel image:linux" in Syslinux 3.36 but nothing is found
Version 3.70 is out:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.ph ... UX_Project
Download the last version of syslinux. Check if x:\syslinux\syslinux.cfg exists (with X: = drive letter of your usb thumb drive).
Go to "Start ==> Run as.. ==> type "cmd"".
Drop syslinux.exe (/win32/syslinux.exe from the syslinux archive) to the cmd window.
Add the following parameters (what is written after syslinux).
For windows: syslinux [-sfma][-d directory] x:
Code: Select all
syslinux -ma -d syslinux x: adapt x: to the stations letter for your thumb drive
OR
syslinux -sma -d syslinux x:
Code: Select all
syslinux -d syslinux /dev/sdX adapt sdX to your correct drive
OR
syslinux -s -d syslinux /dev/sdX
-s Safe, slow, stupid; uses simpler code that boots better
-f Force installing
-d directory in which ldlinux.sys will be placed
These are only in the Windows version:
-m Mbr; install a bootable MBR sector to the beginning of the
drive.
-a Active; marks the partition used active (=bootable)
Hello Sir,
Feel very sorry to inform you that this attempt also has FAILED. The message is as earlier:

@swdamle: Don't use "ubcd2usb". Use "format x: /q", followed by "syslinux.exe -ma -d syslinux x".
Alternatively, try out "ubcd2usb" in UBCD V5.0b3 which does this automatically. We need more testers anyway, and I have received at least one email that says the latest ubcd2usb solved this problem.
