Re: Flashed a snapshot image to a USB drive but can't boot it!

@DukeComposed Alright. I think I get it. But how do I narrow down to what version I need. Like you said, I'm not a computer scientist but boy do I wanna learn the ins and outs of troubleshooting a Linux system.

And @putih , I am using MX Live USB Maker.

Re: Flashed a snapshot image to a USB drive but can't boot it!

So I switched over to kernel 6.12.17 and flashed a new ISO again...
I still keep getting the same error. Do I keep downgrading one version at a time until I get it right or...?

Re: Flashed a snapshot image to a USB drive but can't boot it!

I just tested with a normal ISO and it works perfectly.

If it helps, my custom ISO is over 100 GB.
Recently, I accidentally broke the OS but I made a backup with Timeshift and resumed my OS from that (though I had to fix the EFI bootloader afterwards).

Re: Flashed a snapshot image to a USB drive but can't boot it!

I flashed the ISO once again with the GPT partitioning checked on but
I still keep getting that same error. I even unplugged all other USB devices and plugged the flash drive in a USB-3 port and
even removed thos boot parameters with e key like you suggested.
I still had no luck.

Re: Flashed a snapshot image to a USB drive but can't boot it!

Hi. So I removed the boot parameters and updated grub.
I created a new snapshot and flashed it to my USB drive but I still got the same error as before.

Here's a screenshot.

You should not change this, please revert to have this line commented out:

otherwise you will got other issues in the future.
and rerun to correct


Well, I already uncommented it.
So should I switch it to false? Otherwise, I reckon commenting it again will still ...

Re: Flashed a snapshot image to a USB drive but can't boot it!

I'm checking the /etc/default/grub file.
How to remove root=xxxxxxx?

It doesn't seem to be in the boot parameters but it looks like it's under
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true so I uncommented it then ran update-grub.

One look at my QSI afterwards, however, and I still see the root=UUID=<filter>.

Re: Flashed a snapshot image to a USB drive but can't boot it!

Hi. So I used the "Live USB Maker".

As the the startup params, which ones should I remove to ensure it does boot up properly?
Thanks.
