I was trying to write Backtrack Linux 4R2 iso to my 2GB thumb drive. The md5sum matched so I know the iso is good. When I tried booting from the thumb drive the kernel kept refusing to boot. I tried 4 different machines and it always crashed at the same spot. I traced the problem to a bad filesystem.squashfs. It turns out that the drive was full but unetbootin didn't report any problems. It said it successfully completed the process of installing all of the files on the thumb drive.
I was using version 494. |
