Using Rufus to make Bootable USB returns 'Obsolete menu.c32' #101

Open Shaggygoblin opened 9 years ago

Shaggygoblin commented 9 years ago

Just before hitting Start

rufus 2 2 668

After hitting Start

rufus replace menu_c32

The same message apears against 'vesamenu.c32' as well. I will attempt to 'upgrade' menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32 and report here _if_ something is amiss afterward.

EDIT: This is the rufus.log after hitting 'Yes' on both "Replace/Upgrade" dialogue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_V2wj_j9vmLenpGNE1ldDFkLWc/view?usp=sharing

This is the log on finish: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_V2wj_j9vmLUFE4d08zd01veFk/view?usp=sharing

ran into a no cdrom driver found issue... unsure if this is related to using those tow 'newer' files or if the .iso just didn't have a cdrom driver. never made it to the partion part of setup. trying to make the USB again without replacing/updating the two files, see what happens...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA stop trying to be smart, Rufus. I'm smarter than you.

heh, yeah, and I just fragged s 32GB USB 3.0 Thumbdrive using the 'recommended' Win32 Disk Imager. It says 'Has been known to 'rarely' corrupt...' So now I have a $25 SR install Stick, with 500kb left over for ...a hello_world.txt file, maybe...

On the plus side, using the latest build, i get past the CDROM issue and into the partitioning...

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/YOURUSBSTICK

should get you back to a proper starting point.

Shaggygoblin commented 9 years ago

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/YOURUSBSTICK this is assuming I can get past the GRUB failing to install to where ever it's trying to install and make it to a terminal... unless that can be run from the pre-install terminal from the setup options/steps screen? It goes all the way to that point... terminal failure. And I have to use my Win7 recovery to restore the Partition to be able to access anything to help me further...lol. Me thinks SteamOS is not worth the effort if the install shenanigans continue...
