No ISO files found (Press enter to reboot...) - elisatems - 11-04-2021
This is the message Ventoy gives me when I try to boot from a USB stick with Ventoy installed and two Linux dist ISOs copied to it. With the disk mounted under Linux, a directory listing gives:
ls -al /run/media/lise/Ventoy/
total 3956224
drwxrwxrwx. 1 lise lise 131072 Dec 31 1969 .
drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 60 Nov 3 22:16 ..
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 lise lise 2007367680 Nov 3 20:21 Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 lise lise 2043674624 Nov 3 20:21 SL-79-x86_64-2020-10-17-LiveDVDgnome.iso
Did I misunderstand what is meant by "you just need to copy iso files to this partition"?
For completeness: in order to mount the Ventoy disk to copy the files to it, I needed to install the fuse-exfat package for RHEL. But the disk does mount, and df returns:
% df

The last line shows that the partition containing the iso files is the first partition on /dev/sdc. I installed Ventoy with
Code:
sh Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdcAny help would be appreciated.

Solved. The filesystem type needs to be a Linux native type (I made it ext4), at least on my system Ventoy will not see the iso files if the filesystem on the USB stick is exFAT.

After install, Ventoy will dived the disk into 2 partitions. and partition 1 is formated in exfat filesystem and also is where to put the iso files.

So /dev/sdc is your USB disk, and /dev/sdc1 is partition 1 /dev/sdc2 is partition 2. Partition 2 is for internal use of Ventoy.
You just need to mount /dev/sdc1 and copy your ISO files to this partition.
If you don't use this USB disk in Windows, ext4 is OK.
RE: No ISO files found (Press enter to reboot...) - Steve2926 - 11-04-2021
Since the default is exFAT for partition 1 and many 1000s of people have no problem with Ventoy and exFAT, maybe you need to consider what may be different about your system?
'I needed to install the fuse-exfat package for RHEL. ' - a clue here ?
Did you safely eject the drive and use sync after copying the ISO files?
