Could not get boot entry

[rinring]

Hi,

I'm trying several Linux distributions and Sabayon seems to be a good choice.
So, I have created a USB live by following this:

dd if=Sabayon_Linux_9_amd64_K.iso of=/dev/sdb

I have checked that

Code: Select all

md5sum Sabayon_Linux_9_amd64_K.iso


is ok.

I have also tried MultiSystem and some other live USB creator tools.

When I boot with my live usb, the following happens:

A menu appears.
I select the KDE desktop.
I press Alt-F1 to see what is going on, and the following error message appears:

Code: Select all

Could not get boot entry
Attempting to mount media /dev/sr0
Attempting to mount media /dev/sda1
Attempting to mount media /dev/sda2


and it freezes forever.

I have tried 2 different computers, a very recent notebook and a laptop five years old.
Many other Linux distros like Ubuntu work ok.

Any help, please?

This is a initramfs bug if I remember correcrtly ...

fixed in the current daily ISOs

Yes, I have extended and logical partitions, apart from primary ones.
