Write ISO to Pendrive

[bertalanimre]

Hey Chorrell,

What distribution are you using and what application do you use to write the ISO to pendrive?
I'm asking because I've come to a rather strange problem. No matter how I write the created ISO to a pendrive, it doesn't boot up properly. BUT when I test it on KVM and I jsut load the ISO, it works perfectly.

What can possibly cause the ISO to be writen to pendrive corrupted with any application? Tried UnetBootIn, Fedora Media Writer (Since I use Fedora), Rufus (on Windows), even disc image recovery via the disks settings. Also tried with multiple pendrives. None of them worked and I can't boot up the custom made ISO. A freshly downloaded CentOS ISO works perfect.

Regards:
Bert

I use CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso but I don't write the ISO to a pendrive. Once the custom ISO is created I use create_iso to create the KVM image.

I see. Is there any chance you can try to write your custom made ISO to a pendrive and try to boot and install from it? (Not a virtual computer in KVM or Xen or whatever, but a phisycal computer) Just to check that is it just me or something during the ISO creatin is wrong. I didn't see any problem in the script, that is why I'M confused.

Boot a physical computer with the custom ISO on a USB drive? I don't have access to any hardware to do that. To be honest, the scripts for this repo aren't designed for that use case. I only use the custom ISO for installing in a KVM/SmartOS instance.
