Some folks have had success using Ventoy to do the installation. Be sure to choose the “grub2
” option when you are booting the ISO from Ventoy.
Another method which is maybe a little tricker but works great is using cat
from the command line, as described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_flash_installation_medium#Using_basic_command_line_utilities
Switch to a root shell:
sudo fish
(Or sudo bash
works just as well).
Then target the ISO with cat
, and redirect to your USB drive in /dev/disk/by-id
.
cat path/to/iso > /dev/disk/by-id/usb-[whatever]
After you get to usb
just press Tab to auto-complete; it should fill in with your Kingston device automatically.
Be sure to target the whole drive, not any specific partition.
Run one of the following commands, replacing
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-My_flash_drive
with your drive, e.g./dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DataTraveler_2.0_408D5C1654FDB471E98BED5C-0:0
. (Do not append a partition number, so do not use something like/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DataTraveler_2.0_408D5C1654FDB471E98BED5C-0:0-part1
or/dev/sdb1
)
I hope that helps, welcome to the community @BalaDeSilver.
