Hi members,
I am new to linux and was trying to start by installing rhel 7.2 in my laptop, currently running windows 7,from a usb media.I downloaded a rhel 7 dvd iso image and converted it into a bootable image by iso2usb.
I then changed the boot priority settings in BIOS to external device(didn't have any option for USB) and restarted my laptop with the USB. I was successful to a point where I could see a GRUB screen.
However, while installing rhel 7.2, I got stuck with the following error:-
[ 193.845250] dracut-initqueue[779]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts
[...]
[ 198.557262] dracut-initqueue[779]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts
[ 198.557679] dracut-initqueue[779]: Warning: Could not boot.
[ 200.161146] dracut-initqueue[779]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist
[ 200.170895] systemd[1]: Starting Dracut Emergency Shell...
Warning: /dev/root does not exist
Generating "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt"
Entering emergency mode
Type "journactl" to view system logs
You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB stick or /boot after mounting them and attach it to a bug report.
I did a blkid and noticed that the device LABEL of the USB doesn't match with the USB name.
Can somebody suggest how do I change the LABEL to the correct USB name?
Thanks in advance!
Help me!

RHEL is not CentOS.
Don't try to "convert" anything. It will just break the installation image, as you have seen. Use plain dd if you can. More info: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey

Re: Help me!
CentOS is using the same source like RHEL, but as this is a CentOS forum - do not expect any help with RHEL.
Please note that creation of install media should be done as per the wiki.
