This is prevalent in Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex BETA.
PROBLEM: I receive GRUB Error 17 when I create one of these bootable USB sticks.
METHOD: I updated Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex on the 18th October and found in the Administration menu under System a new entry called "Create a USB startup disk". I have a 4GB stick (OCZ Rally II) and I ran the programme (which I had to do administratively) and selected an Intrepid Alpha ISO that I had on an external HD and it detected successfully my 4GB stick.
I clicked Create and it went through the process, finished, and I tested it in a laptop that has no problem with USB stick booting and I get GRUB Error 17 and thats where it stops.
I've tried creating the stick with the Documents and Settings area enabled at 300MB and without any Documents and Settings area and still the same.
The MBR is not being created correctly. |

The MBR is not being created correctly or something like that. |

Please do not post additional issues in this bug report, it makes it very hard to track bugs. Rather, please file them as separate bugs.
Regarding error 17 in GRUB, I'm assuming you intentionally or unintentionally installed GRUB to your USB disk at one point as usb-creator uses syslinux, not GRUB. Regardless of how it got there, usb-creator handles this scenario in 0.1.11 by writing syslinux to the MBR.
Can someone who was experiencing this issue please try usb-creator from my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~evand/+archive) and report back here on whether or not it fixes the issue?
Thanks |
