| Post subject: | Can't boot from USB |
I got the VOV Debug tool in the mail yesterday. I'm not sure which model server I have as it doesn't say. It's an older model, though, as it does not have the pins for the jumper. I set it up and successfully booted from a usb and started installing fedora server. The install errored out (probably due to a faulty iso) and after that, it won't boot from the USB anymore. When I restart, I get to the point where it says "Press DEL to enter setup" and it freezes. It doesn't matter if I press delete or not, nothing happens. Any ideas? As an aside, the VOV cable is an awesome little tool. It worked great. |

Update: The jump drive is the issue. I can't seem to get a good version of Fedora Server onto it. I tried Unetbootin, but it doesn't list the server version of fedora in it's menu. I downloaded the iso, and tried to install it using the disk image writer in Ubuntu, but that is what makes it freeze up upon booting. |

So I've confirmed that I'm getting a good image on the thumb drive and booted it on a different machine, but I'm still having the boot stop at the same point on the Mediasmart server. Any ideas? |

Not that I have booted to a usb stick on a Mediasmart server, but I have read that only one usb port (I believe it is the rear/lower) is boot-able. Could be wrong, I would try different usb ports. That's all I have, Good Luck |
