Re: Can't boot Live from USB - unknown fs type, can't mount root

You have to burn the iso to the usb stick using cd creator or what ever you have for the purpose, similar to how one creates a cd or dvd, not copy it. I do this frequently and once the iso is on the stick it doesn't seem to matter what else is on it the iso still works( for me anyway). I have a2 gig stick that I've used this way for years.

     Hello,

I downloaded Fedora 19 Live CD and copied it to a USB flash drive via dd. When I try to boot from it on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430s, I do get a screen that says that Fedora Live CD is going to load, but then it fails. The first error message I see is:

  kernel: SQUASHFS error: unable to read id index table

  Then, some lines later, I get several lines that say:

  dracut-mount[361]: mount: unknown filesystem type 'DM_snapshot_cow'

  and then:

  dracut-mount[361]: Warning: Can't mount root file system

  And then I seem to be in a "dracut emergency shell"

  Any ideas? Thanks!

     Best,
     Oliver

if you have another FC box try following and user to create live USB-stick

yum install -y liveusb-creator



Warm Regards
