When you boot into Ventoy's main menu, don't press Enter when select the dfly-x86_64-6.0.1_REL.iso but press m and calculate its md5sum to see whether the result is a27b7e980e84b67251c3f40e9a22a846 That is to check whether the ISO file was corrupted during you copy it to the USB.

The checksum is correct. I checked it even earlier (I put the file with the checksum on the USB flash drive). And I checked it again now. I can't even imagine how you manage to test images on a virtual machine, but apparently this is the reason. I would be glad if someone tested it on their old computers (without UEFI bios). I will check on another computer in the morning and also change the flash drive and report the result.

vjkarbo commented 2 years ago

By the way, this has been repeated for at least a year, I tested it on several versions of ventoy (but on the same flash drive). I just decided to report just now.

ventoy commented 2 years ago

You can test with another USB drive for comparison.

ventoy commented 2 years ago

Can it work OK if you dd the ISO file to the same USB or use some other tool to create a bootable USB stick?

vjkarbo commented 2 years ago

It is not a bootable ISO file. With a simple copy with dd, the computer does not recognize anything. Programs for creating bootable usb from iso report the absence of a partition table (for example, balena-ethcher). Dragonflybsd has a bootable .img, https://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/iso-images/dfly-x86_64-6.0.1_REL.img.bz2 which is correctly recognized and fully loaded into a rewritable live system if copied using dd (tested on this flash drive several times). I also repeated the manipulations with the ventoy with another Transcend Jet Flash 8Gb drive, but no result: IMG_20211130_103959

@vjkarbo What about the latest 1.0.62?

vjkarbo commented 2 years ago

On two machines the same thing: IMG_20211204_152710

vjkarbo commented 2 years ago

latest 1.0.64 and latest 6.2.1 release: http://mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org/iso-images/dfly-x86_64-6.2.1_REL.iso Imagepipe_0

vjkarbo commented 2 years ago

Latest Ventoy 1.0.69 - the picture is not changed. By the way, I see that the problem was reported in the bugtracker: https://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3313
