BT5 R2 in Persitant USB boot error

linux-howto

http://www.backtrack-linux.org – Hi, after several trials I finally achieved to install BT5 R2 in a persistant USB using the Universal USB Linux installer (very similar to Unetbootin that gave me some problems) and the BT5 KDE 32bit ISO It now seems to work OK, but it has a very slow booting process. Taking out the splash screen I found several error messages that I'm not able to understand reason for them: a.- stdin: error 0 /init: line 3: can't open /dev sr0. No medium found Warning: Unable to find the persistent home medium Questions: Why is it looking for device sr0? (USB device is sda). Later on, there (HowTos)

I want to install Ubuntu by Wubi.

Linux installation 3 years 23 weeks ago

Problem with installing the linux and also with boot.

I have read the other post but seems like they did not help my problem...So im getting unable to find a medium containing a live file system” error when installing it gets to a certin line in the command line then errors out with that message. Is there a way or a work around?? I also tried to boot from USB but its booting straight into windows.

During the bootup process of the LiveUSB (created from the latest i686 live iso downloaded today 2009-10-19) the proess dies with this message:

booting init 3: -------------------- No root device found

Boot has failed, sleeping forever --------------------

just booting with normal grub params:

I install FC in USB flash drives with one main reason: Its unraveled speed (compared with other popular Linux distros ) in booting up. However, I have been, and am being frustrated by boot failures in my experience with FC10 and FC11, both end up in data retrieving problem as saved data in persistent drive can only be accessed after system boot up.

Have two different usb drives and have tried multiple copies of Backtrack 5 yet keep having this problem.

Using UNetBootin (Universal USB Installer) Backtrack installs onto my USB just fine. I boot it up. Go online, mess around with settings. Then shut it down.

Now on the next boot up I get a error.

Error.Deleted inode refference 642614.

This cycles endlessly.
