Mint Startup Disk Creator USB Problems
« on: May 31, 2011, 01:02:59 am »
I have recently gotten a 16gb kingston data traveller 101 usb. I thought it would be nice to have mint or at least a version of mint with me all the time so I decided to create a USB with highest persistence possible(9999mb on unetbootin 4gb on Disk creator. I first tried with unetbootin and it failed with error message
Code: [Select]
could not find kernel image: vesamenu.c32I then tried with the mint disk creator and got the same error. How can I get this working and is it possible to have it working with unetbootin which I would prefer because it lets me have higher persistence

Having more than 4 GiB of persistence is impossible if you're using FAT32 (which you probably are). I'm not sure if your problem is solved by setting it to 4 GiB, though...

I had it set to 4gb in the startup disk creator.
can ntfs have more persistence? Or what would be the best for persistence?

It seems to me that the image is broken rather than the accessing of the drive itself.
Does vesamenu.c32 actually EXIST on the flash drive? If not, you can safely blame the program. :)

Download this archive:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/syslinux-4.04.tar.bz2

Extract this file: ./com32/menu/vesamenu.c32
(You may alternatively extract all and just grab the file from the extracted contents.)

Now copy that little guy to where the other .c32 files are, and it should work! :D
(Typically, this is the syslinux dir or the root.)

If you want more than 4 GB of persistence, delete the casper-rw file and create an ext2 partition named casper-rw.

I have gone through it and found vesamenu.c32 on the flash drive. I'll try it your way though also

EDIT:I did that and now it says that vesamenu.32 is not a valid file.
@JosJuice do I label the partition casper-rw
