I am trying to install lubuntu-14.04.1-alternate-amd64 on a USB Stick - and oh my, is that some trouble.
My Setup:
Win7 UEFI System with enabled Secure Boot
My Target:
64GB USB 3.0 Stick in USB3 Port, GPT, has ESI Partition, Fat32 Partition, 8302 Ext4 home, Swap, 8304 Ext4 root
My Sources:
- lubuntu-14.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso based Install-CD (somehow not bootable)
- lubuntu-14.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso based Install-SDCard (done with dd copy of the iso, bootable)
- my target has the lubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso on his Fat32 partition and I can boot from it
My Problem:
I can boot the SDCard, Check the Disk, everything is OK, but "Load installer components from CD" fails.
I've checked the ISO and it's contents with md5, all is fine. I can even use the ISO in a UEFI based VM and the problem is not there. However, my VM won't accept my multiparitioned USB-Stick.
Because the GUI-Based installer tries to mess with my partitions, I am using the alternate-ISO. I don't want to format my partitions, I just want a system copied to them.
My Goal:
An USB Stick that is bootable on a UEFI System with active secure boot, that boots to Win7 by default and a Lubuntu 14.04.1 from the Stick by choice.
Due to a specific partitioning that is aligned and adjusted to my USB Stick I do not want to change any parition sizes and which to not format them.
Is there any way to achieve this? Because I am currently at the end of my rope here :(
Thank you guys!
