PC boots from Slack 14.1 bootable mediai, but not 14.2 - DVD & USB
by stevet2048 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4X8MV)
Hello.
Hard drive in my Slack box running 14.2 crashed. Replaced HD w/1TB WD and attempted to reload Slackware. Tried from a 14.2 bootable USB and PC did not recognize as bootable device. Tried from 13.1 Slack disk, same result. Used another Slack box running 14.2 to build a bootable USB (but the usbboot.img was a 14.1) and it booted into 14.1. Downloaded slackware64 iso file and used the dd if=slackware64-14.2-install-dvd.iso of=/dev/sdm
to copy it to a USB, again, not bootable. PC is an AMD Athlon (I think) box with an ASUS M4A785-M motheboard.
Is there a usbboot.img for 14.2? Any other ideas?
Thanks and cheers,
