While it was working well on “live usb stick”, I tried to install “geexbox-devel-20111224-r13686-i386″ on (another) usb stick but i get stuck on the same error…
What i did :
1 – I created a usb stick with iso on it using linux usb creator
2 – started my computer and, at prompt, selected : “install Geexbox to disk…”
(at this moment, i get an error : could not open framebuffer: no such file or directory) but it continues
3 – Inserted another usb stick and replyed yes to begin the install
4 – selected sdd and replyed two times yes !
5 – the system run for a while… everything seems fine except at the end I get the 3 followings messages :

cp: can’t stat ‘ /.root/isolinux/splash.png’ : No such file or directory
cp: can’t stat ‘ /.root/isolinux/vesamenu.c32′ : No such file or directory
cp: can’t stat ‘ /.root/isolinux/help.msg’ : No such file or directory
/tmp/installator/target/boot is device /dev/sdd1
The installation has been completed!
Press any keyto reboot the system…

Obviously, when I start the computer with the stick, I get the “Could not find kernel image: /boot/vesamenu.c32″

Any idea ?

@tomlohave,
I did not use dd & unetbootin.
I have used lili usb creator on windows 7. You can have an overview of it here : http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/help/guide

I have carefully described exactly what I did in the post above

Should I try r13693?

this will change nothing, no commits about installator
But can you test with unetbootin please : http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ and let us know if you’ve the same problem
in my spare time, i will try “lili”

Everything works as described here : http://www.geexbox.org/geexbox-for-pc-booting-from-usb/ with unetbootin


You’re then prompted to specify (in MB) the “Space used to preserve files across reboots“. While being declare as “Ubuntu only“, we made GeeXboX support this option, allowing you to reserve some dedicated space on your USB key (will be reserved under a file named casper-rw on your USB disk).
This is what we call persistent data storage, and is a really useful feature that allows all configuration changes, database, saved pictures and such media parts to remain after reboots.

thank you

;)
