Get to Chromium splash screen, then nothing

[matt]

I used XP pro to build newest vanilla and Lime image, seemed to build fine except for that error 8 that everyone is talking about.
When booting from USB, I get to splash screen then nothing. Vanilla or Lime. Screen just goes black, I can type stuff and see it on the screen, but thats all it does.
Also, on a few computers I get some text saying Kernel panic - not synching: Stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in 81671b33...a bunch of other stuff, then the last line says switching back to text console...
Any ideas?????
Are my PC's too old? They are dell demension 2400 and server poweredge 800
Thanks
Matt

Can you post a link to these images you are testing with and also add some more details to your setup?

Need:
Windows release.
Removable media type, brand, size.
Image causing error.

Thanks.

So far, I have been unable to reproduce this with win32image-writer 0.4. I am using ChromeOS-Vanilla-1586.0.2012_01_16_1658-ref7df61a.zip from http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/ on both Windows XP and Windows 7 Home Starter. My USB drive that I am writing to is a Corsair Voyager-mini 4G usb drive.

Not sure what else to tell you. Given the nature of chromeOS, it is possible you have a bad release (it is built daily). I suggest getting a newer copy (at least try the version I mentioned as a baseline).

If you have further issues, please don't hesitate to ask.

I downloaded the latest release. Im using w2k3 and xp pro.
same windows writer that you mentioned below.
Im using a verbatim 4GB usb drive. Formatted fat32,16 and ntfs with HP
format util, nothing works. Bummer

You shouldn't have to format the usb stick first. The program writes a raw image to the device, overwriting any partitioning/formatting.

You might try a different usb stick or if you have a Linux system, try raw writing the image from there with "sudo dd bs=4M if=<image file> of=/dev/<usb drive>" (where <image file> is the name of the img, and <usb drive> is the raw drive i.e. /dev/sdb).

[matt (mattnelms)]

Yeah, I tried that in ubuntu, but must have got the syntax of the command
wrong.
<imagefile> would that be the entire path to the image file, like
/usr/shared/imagefile.img???

Im a newbie at Linux..
Thanks

Yes, that should work, as long as imagefile.img were in /usr/shared. If it is in the directory that you type the dd command in, you can just type the filename w/o the path.
