2008-10-13 14:21:17 Matt Zimmerman usb-creator: statusexplanation This bug was closed without an explanation, and I can still reproduce the problem, so I assume this was in error. I did the following: 1. Ran usb-creator and successfully copied the installation media to the USB stick 2. Attempted to boot it in another machine, received an "Operating system not found" error 3. Checked the partition table, noticed that the partition was not set active, fixed that with fdisk 4. Attempted to boot it again, still failed 5. Installed an MBR using install-mbr 6. Attempted to boot again, succeeded
