Unable to start live 2.8 from USB - JmaCWQ - 06-30-2016 Not sure what's going on but whenever I try to boot from a 32-bit live 2.8 USB I get the error shown in the pic below. Doesn't matter if I use Startup Disk Creator or Unetbootin, same message, tried safe mode etc.. Tried various USB sticks, all which test ok with H2Testw and work perfectly with LL-3 put on them. Live dvd of 2.8 booting via a USB dvd drive works fine. Md5 checks out ok. The top entries about ACPI PCC probe failing & the 2 below it have always appeared as far as I can remember, along with the rectangle behind those messages. The BusyBox & initramfs are the point at which it stops loading. It does show the feather & progressbar for a few seconds like it's loading as normal then borks at the message. Several websearch results say failed install media is the culprit but I don't believe this is the case as the same USB sticks work fine with LL-3 on them. Live USB's created while on a new, updated install of 2.8, not made persistant, makes no diference if they are, tried creating new msdos partition table via GParted, reformatting, deleting contents without reformating, leaving contents & clicking Yes to All when Unetbootin asks to overwrite etc. etc.. Any ideas? Thanks Re: Unable to start live 2.8 from USB - Valtam - 06-30-2016 Try Etcher.

Once again thank you Jerry  8) Here's the steps: Download the correct .AppImage, 32 or 64 bit, once downloaded right click on the file & go Properties > Permissions, check the Program: allow this file to run as a program box, close the Properties. Double click the file, a message will open asking if you want to install a desktop entry, click yes, once it's done that & it opens just follow the steps. I've had no experience with .AppImage files before now so I imagine if I clicked No when it asked about installing a desktop entry that the file would have to be used to start it each time instead of it's Menu entries, found under 'Other' & 'All'
