Error booting from 11/2011 LiveCD [Solved]

After I select "Boot ArchBang Linux" or "Boot ArchBang Linux [Xorg autodetect]", I get something like "ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-name/archbang ..." and a ramfs prompt. The "system" is a Pentium III 256 MB RAM. Suggestions?

Thanks,
Webb

Have you tested the liveCD on another pc to see if it is a valid burn?

Yes, the LiveCD works perfectly on a slightly newer machine. Looks real nice, too smile

lubuntu 11.10 installs fine from CD...

Here is the exact error:


ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCHBANG' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
   Falling back to interactive prompt
   You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[ramfs /]#


Thanks,

Sounds like the /dev/archiso wasn't created.

At [ramfs /]# try this:

[ramfs /]#  cd /dev
[ramfs /]#  ln -s sr0 archiso
[ramfs /]#  exit

and see if it will boot now.

GUI's?? We don't need no stinkin' GUI's!!!

Are you using unetbootin under Windows? if not why not try dd method

dd if=archbang<date><arch>.iso of=/dev/sdXx bs=8M

Re: Error booting from 11/2011 LiveCD [Solved]

I assume it's working after you tried Mr Green's 'dd' suggestion?  If so, can you confirm so it's clear for future users?

Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit?
