Trouble with booteable usb, new BLACKARCH iso 2020 #57

Closed adrianmoris closed 4 years ago

adrianmoris commented 4 years ago

Hi, help please, i have blackarch installed on my thinkpad on top (in hdd), buyed a new ssd to try install the new iso. In a terminal use this sentence "sudo dd bs=512M if=file.iso of=/dev/sdX" to create booteable usb (change file.iso for the last iso from blackarch version 2020.01.01 downloaded and X for my usb device). Next i change the disk and try boot from usb and appear this message:

error: unknown filesystems. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue>

This pendrive is new and look with gparted, the filesystem created is iso9660, but not boot. Thanks.

Could it be, that you, by accident dd'ed to your hard drive and not to your usb device?

Thanks for the answer. When booting press F12 and select my USB for boot. For prove then i change SSD for HDD and try boot and the same, remove the usb and boot perfectly (HDD have old version BlackArch)

Hello, i found a solution for me, use gdisk and 'l' for select and assign 'ef00' for make 'EFI System' partition, next use 'w' to write disk, and then booted normally and work perfectly. I don't know why dd command it not worked at first time, if the usb was new. I Close this.
