I tried booting a functional Ventoy USB stick on a Pentium M but it won't boot.

It gets stuck at

Hi,

I've added the lastest iso version of rescuezilla (rescuezilla-2.1.3-64bit.groovy.iso) on my Ventoy USB key.
I can boot using this key and I can see the Ventoy menu where all my isos are listed.
When I select rescuezilla, I can see the starting menu of rescuezilla where I can select which application I want to use.
But each time I select any of them, I get the following error message :
error: invalid magic number
error: you need to load kernel first

Do you have any idea how to solve this issue ?

Regards.

Xuo.

Hi!
I'm having a weird issue with Ventoy on just one computer and it's puzzling me.
I have a USB stick with version 1.0.44 installed on it. When I use it on several computers, it works just fine.
But when I plug it into my main machine, I don't even get the "vtloading... " prompt. I just get a blinking cursor and that's it.

I tried it on an old Intel Atom netbook and it works no problem. I tried it on a newer AMD Vision powered laptop, no problem there either.

I know the computer on which Ventoy fails to boot will successfully run YUMI and any other GRUB2 based versions of Linux without any issue.

I tried putting Ventoy in Secure Boot mode. I tried changing the boot partition from MBR to GPT. And so far all I get is the blinking cursor and a machine that only reacts to CTRL-ALT-DELETE.

I really like using Ventoy and would like to get it working on that machine too.

Anybody has any hint of what I could do to get it working?

The system that gives me problems is running an Intel Core-2 Duo E8400 on an HP 3048h motherboard. The bios is from HP and dated 2009. When I run HWINFO, it tells me that it's a non-UEFI bios.

Thanks

Hello guys,
I have ventoy USB prepared as per instructions in MBR and with secure boot. I can boot to windows and linux iso fine on my old dell xps L502X laptop. But on my gaming system I can boot to windows iso, however the linux iso does not boot, if i force text during boot, either it gets stuck or does not display anything. One error i have noticed is xCHI failed/usb disconnect and sometimes "Begin: running /scripts/nfs-premount . . . done." followed by nothing. System just hangs.
Have tried ubuntu 20, linuxmint17 and 20, kali linux, zorin OS lite.

Spec:
Ryzen 3600, nvidia 1660, msi b450 MB in both UEFI and CSM mode. Secure boot disabled.

Any guidance is much appreciated.

Hello

I installed Ventoy to an USB hard drive.
I have added 2 different OS.

The first one is windows using a vhd file.
The second one is a linux with a persitance file.

When I use windows, I'm able to see the ventoy partition and remove / add any iso file.
When I use linux, this partition is not availabe and I get the message :
error mounting /dev/sda1

How could I get access to this partition using linux ?

Kind regards
