[SOLVED] Installation from USB key: .iso not found

Post by pschaff » 2012/04/12 15:33:59

There are a number of different approaches described on that Wiki page and it is in need of a serious rewrite. (I need to get a [b][i]Round Tuit[/i][/b]. ;-) )

Please describe exactly what you did.

Did you pick hard drive installation and specify the USB ext3 partition (probably /dev/sda2 if the boot device) as the source of the ISO image?

When you select hard drive installation the installer should ask you where the ISO image resides.

See the [url=http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Installation_Guide/index.html#s1-steps-hd-installs-x86]upstream docs[/url] - particularly #4 and 5. Looks like the /images needs to be on /dev/sda2.

Edit: I updated the CentOS-6 section of the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey]HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey page[/url] to reflect the above. Any feedback on how to improve it appreciated.
