I have a problem with (the newest) MX-Linux for x86-systems. It does not start, maybe does not find files.
For an old Laptop with 32bit-CPU I have downloaded the newest MX-ISO: MX-23.1_386.iso (from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mx-linu...o/download). Ventoy is the newest 1.0.96. Other ISOs - e.g. Knoppix, Linux Mint, AOMEI-backupper are starting.
I have tried on 1/2 dozend PC, and always the same: Depending on the CPU with or w/o the mandatory option/cheat "forcepae" and disabling "quiet" and enabling the boot-messages: After a lot of booting-messages and
"Loading hardware specific modules ..."
some red error-messages appeared, beginning with
"insmod: can´t insert '/ventoy /mnt/squashfs/lib/modules/6.1.0.13-686-pae/kernel/drivers/md/dm-mod.ko': unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter"
"/prog/misc: No entry for device-mapper found"
and ending with
"TYPE:"
"b Block device"
"c or u Character device"
"p Namend pipe (MAJOR and MINOR are ignored)"
Followed by the message
"Scan usb,cd devices. Look for boot file(s) antiX/linuxfs"
"Filtered devices /dev/mapper/ventoy /dev/sr0"
"Retry for 15 seconds "
and then
"Fatal error"
"Could not find file antiX/linuxfs"
"Searched devices: /dev/mapper/ventoy /dev/sr0"
"Searched types: usb,cd"
"All block devices: /devsr0 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda2 dev/sda1 /dev/sda"
Then it stops and gives the choice to shutdown or reboot.
No difference when testing with "modern" PC and the default start-command-line.
What is the problem, what can I do?
Edit: I have additional tested the previous version MX-21.3_386 and this is starting (in normal mode) and working.

Hello,  I use ventoy on Ssd through SATA/USB dongle. Installing Linux works, but when I try to install Windows, I can't. The ventoy drive is visible in windows installator(it never was when I was using pendrive) and when selecting partition (not the ventoy drive partition) and clicking "next" an error appears Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation.
To solve this error you need to unplug unnecessary drives, but I can't as windows iso is on my drive

Newest Ventoy version, GPT UEFI, Windows 10, 11 and Server 2016 ISOs

管理员您好，我手头上有一台联想开天M740J台式机（16G内存，FT-D2000 8核心CPU，512G M.2固态硬盘，昆仑固件），想和x86平台上一样将麒麟系统装到vhd里运行，目前遇到几个问题想请教一下
1、以前做好的U盘在x86平台上启动时主题正常，在arm64下可以启动，但是变成默认主题，是不是需要在多模式里针对arm64再加一个主题的设置项？目前使用的ventoy版本是1.0.96
2、使用qemu在x86平台下装好麒麟系统，运行vtoyboot.sh脚本正常完成，生成的镜像复制到经过ventoy处理的硬盘上可以列出来，选择后也出现了linux的黑色列表选项界面，然后再下一步要启动系统时就停住了。然后试验了第二种方法，就是在硬盘上正常安装系统并运行脚本，然后把硬盘拿下来用 diskgenius 将硬盘整体复制到镜像里，这个镜像可以启动到麒麟系统的启动画面，蓝色麒麟一直飘动就是无法进入桌面。请问在飞腾CPU下应该怎么操作才能正常进入桌面，硬盘分区的文件系统有没有特定需求，谢谢！

hi,
I am a software engineering student at the University of Brasilia - UnB, where we are carrying out a study on the usability of the Ventoy website for the Human-Computer Interaction discipline, for this we need to raise the profile of the user who uses Ventoy, could you help us? Just answer this short form that takes less than 3 minutes.
Thank you in advance for your collaboration.

I know the program is designed primarily for Linux Live but it would be VERY useful to add native support for data persistence so that you can install/update programs as well as save files.
Persistent files should be visible by connecting the pendrive to another computer, similar to DosBox.
Another thing I would love is the ability to run Windows. I am not talking about burning the iso to usb so that I can install Windows on the computer, but to install Windows directly to usb so that I can have a portable environment across multiple computers that can recognize the computer hardware, at least if it is intel/nvidia based.

I run the Docker solution of iVentoy by ziggyds on my Synology NAS and use my OPNsense as external DHCP server. There's a video tutorial on YouTube I used to configure the DHCP server in OPNsense for iVentoy.
Everything looked like it was setup but now when I use my notebook (from 2021 with UEFI bios) and try PXE boot it gets to the point where it says "NBP file downloaded successfully" but then it immediately stops and takes me back to the boot menu. From my research on the internet that's because the DHCP server is not configured correctly.

I checked the logs of the Docker container. There's one line that says "DHCP External client 10.0.0.55 should use loader ipxe.bios.0". So I replaced the value of "Set default bios filename" with "ipxe.bios.0" on my OPNsense's DHCP configuration but the result is still the same.

Can anybody help and tell me what's wrong with my configuration please?

Because I have "lost" the 1st partition containing the ISO-files of the USB-stick (-> https://forums.ventoy.net/showthread.php?tid=2696) and so the menue is empty I have tried using the feature "Browse/Boot Files In Local Disk" described in https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_browser.html. Browsing itself is working, I can see and select the local disk, the directory where the ISO´s are and the ISO-file(s) itself on the local disk, but they do not start. Ventory reports:
can´t open file
Ventoy not ready
chain empty failed
What is wrong? As mentioned in https://forums.ventoy.net/showthread.php?tid=2696 after realizing the loss of the 1st partition and that the stick does not boot I have done an update of ventoy which make the stick bootable again (but tdoes not restore the 1st partition), so Ventoy itself is working.

Ventoy system is are very good software and highly supportive.

I have add the symantec Ghost boot and Trueimage boot disk and OS image to my Ventoy USB flash drive.
I want to recovery the system image to harddisk , but I boot the computer to ghost or trueimage via ventoy USB, 
I can't find my system image in my USB , because the Ventoy system , ISO file and system image is in same partition.

I hope there is a way to use only one USB to execute system recovery via ventoy

Hello,
i do have a problem, i cant boot from pxe
I have executed iventoy.sh and can get access to the site
My DHCP Server is my Router 192.168.1.1 and iventoy is running on my Qnap with IP 192.168.1.50
In the Configuration is set ExternalNet and i have added in dnsmasq in my DDWRT firmware dhcp-boot=iventoy_loader_16000,192.168.1.50, i also tried changing it to iventoy_loader_16000_uefi
what did i wrong? I tried to pxe boot from VMWare but it just dont get any connection, on VMWare network is set to Bridge so it must get an IP Adress from Router, how i can see this i dont know

I dont have any Logfile cuz there is nothing to be logged when pxeboot failed completly

PS: I think that doesnt matter but i do have too a pihole docker installed with unbound as dns recursive server

please any help?
kindly regards

Hi, for Ventoy I am using a large USB-stick (256GB) with around 30GB in der 1st partition containing the ISO-files, formatted in exFAT, and a very large 3rd partition for stroage/backup purpose in NTFS.
Suddenly the stick does not boot and the 1st partiton is no longer accessible. I did an update of Ventoy. Now the sticks is booting, but the 1st partition is still unaccessible and the menue is (of course) empty. 
Beside the effort of copying all ISO-files and doing all the adjustments a new/re-install of Ventoy would destroy the 3rd partition (as far as I understand) and I would like to avoid making an update of this nearly 200GB ...
So my question: I there any way to only reconstruct/restore the (lost) 1st partition?
