Error on trying to install Centos from usb drive

[aarelovich]

I followed the instructions here:

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey

In an attempt to install Centos 7 in a work laptop which currently only has FreeDOS.

This was the exact command I issued in a computer running Centos 7 and that had an ISO for a Centos7 installation disc.

Code: Select all

dd if=CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1611.iso of=/dev/sdb

The result when attempting to boot is this error:



What should I do? How do I proceed with the install.

PS: In case its importante I'm using an 8Gb Memory Card with an USB Adapter.

Did you check the sha256sum of your downloaded iso file against the list published in the relevant release notes?

And 1611 is unsupported and way out of date. There have been 1708 and 1804 releases since then (7.4 and 7.5). You should use the latest.

Otherwise that's quite plainly corruption and you should try again using a different USB stick.

Ok. I'll try downloading the new one and use a different stick.

Thanks for the advice.
