Cannot install from bootable USB

I have installed Astaro/UTM many times from a CD-ROM with absolutely no issues.

The computer I am trying to install the UTM on now does not have a CD-ROM, so I made a bootable USB drive (using both UltraISO and PowerISO). The system boots off the USB and the installation starts, but an error occurs when it gets to "Formatting TEMP Partition", stating that "Install.tar wasn't found on the installation media".

The specified file is definitely there, but the installation cannot locate/access it.

It seems strange to me that this has happened (for both the 9.355-1.1 and 9.401-11.1) given that installations from USB drives is very common place these days.

Is there a simple solution to this problem?

  • I find that only the additional console command: "cd /install" gets past the install.tar error.

    Assumed the /install switch in the mount command does that - or not? (ps: 'nix newbie here)

    Did ls to confirm. Tried this multiple times with/without cd/install. Been trying for years now to get the stick install to work. At last!

    Thoughts anyone?
