Backtrack 5 Booting Problem

[jRdbRR]

hey guys, i am googling this and not finding any clear answers. I used unetbootin to install BackTrack 5 onto a 4GB flash drive. The boot screen loads but no matter which BackTrack load i choose i get

(initramfs) Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs

any ideas?

i checked the md5 hash and it is the same as the one listed so the iso is not bad

Have you tried it from cd?

[jRdbRR]

no i have not. i shall try tomorrow. i had wanted to test it out before buying a new thumbdrive and making it persistent. I DO have a random hard drive laying around and a usb adapter i wouldnt mind sticking it on there...

I'm running it on this laptop, installed it from cd. I did have to boot the live cd into safe mode to get it to install. After install I haven't had any problems.

[jRdbRR]

ok maybe a stupid question, i haven't made a live cd in years, what is a good program to burn the iso? (like how i use unetbootn/universalusbinstaller for usb)

Had the same problem, ended up reformatting my flash drive and starting over with Unetbootin. Worked the second time!

[jRdbRR]

what size usb did you use? my backtrack didnt work on my 4gb usb drive but it worked when i put it onto an old 30 gb hard drive with unetbootin.

I am having the same problem with backtrack5 r2 and I tried 5 different usb creators with no results. I will try safemode though.

when installing unebootin to usb with the iso, I notice every time it freezes on casper\filesystem.squashfs and I too get the same problem as jRdbRR.
