Installation from ISO's do not boot

[yochananmarqos]

I've tried installing Linux distros from my multibootusb stick and every time the installation is broken. I've tried with Manjaro, Linux Mint 18.3 & 19. They appear to install fine, but will not boot from hard disk after the installation. I haven't tried Manjaro in awhile, so I don't remember what happened exactly. I just tried both aforementioned versions of Mint yesterday and both dumped me to the initramfs prompt. If I use a program like Isousb, everything is fine.

multibootusb 9.2.0 Manjaro Linux

I'm having the same problem. I installed Linux Mint 19 from my multibootusb stick. The installation appears to do fine. But when i boot from hard disk it goes to initramfs. It's not a iso problem because when I install this distro from a stick with the comand dd, the installation and boot from the hard disk goes fine.

I attached the screenshot with the problem when it initializes from hard disk.

The picture below shows what error it shows when i try to fix the error with a live disc.

It appears your HDD installation is trying to use /dev/sdb1 (whose UUID is 20FF-0B71) as the root device. It should look for /dev/sda5 (whose UUID is af5896dd-d18c-4098-b32b-c28b8ede44d6). What do you get if you 'cat /proc/cmdline' in busy-box shell? Don't you get multiple root= options with different uuids there? If you do, edit away the offending option in the grub GUI and boot off of the modified cmdline.

Same issue here..... strange that it was working for an Ubuntu 18.04 based ISO until recently?? for now reverting to mkusb-nox to create bootable USB installers.

@shinji-s is correct that if you edit the grub entry and delete the second "root" device it will then boot. Then when get booted, can edit /etc/default/grub and remove junk in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX (leaving it =""), then run sudo update-grub and it should be cleaned up and boot correctly.
