Live USB not booting persistent SOLVED
« on: January 02, 2011, 07:21:39 AM »
made a live usb form the live CD.

Was able to boot live, but when I try to boot Live with persistence it fails and panics.

The beginning of the verbose boot sequence looks like this:
mount: mounting  unionfs on  /union failed. Input/Output error
ln: /var/tmp: no such file or directory

The message goes on then I see panic,

Any Ideas?

What version of PCLOS did you use?
What application did you use to create the LiveUSB drive?
What did you use as the source for the Live Install?
What size is the USB drive and or partition?

it is PCLOS 2010.12 .iso
I used the Live USB creator in the distro.
The source was the live CD.
It is a 4 gig usb key, formatted to ext3.

It boots okay without persistence.
Here is the menu.lst

timeout 10
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/gfxmenu
default 0
 
title   LXDE
kernel (hd0,0)/LXDE_0/vmlinuz livecd=LXDE_0 fromusb root=UUID=eae1f05a-d32d-40e2-a550-a8cc62593ad4 acpi=on vga=791
initrd (hd0,0)/LXDE_0/initrd.gz
 
title  LXDE with Persistence
kernel (hd0,0)/LXDE_0/vmlinuz livecd=LXDE_0 fromusb root=UUID=eae1f05a-d32d-40e2-a550-a8cc62593ad4 acpi=on fstab=rw,noauto vga=791 changes_dev=UUID=eae1f05a-d32d-40e2-a550-a8cc62593ad4

Did it work with persistence for a little time?

No matter .......  I suggest that you delete the "changes" directory and its contents on the USB device.

You will need root privileges to do this .......  if you cannot delete it, then try renaming it.

Never worked.
Need that changes directory for persistence. That's the point.

If it is not working now then what harm can be done?

Delete the changes directory.

Nope .....  that did not solve the problem.

What that did was avoid it!
