SLAX boot from USB failure

C1Steve · 01-10-2018, 07:24 PM

I downloaded the current 32 bit SLAX ISO and built a USB
stick to boot from using RUFUS.

When I try to boot from this USB I get the following error:

SLAX failed to load idlinux.C32

Can someone help me?

Thanks C1Steve.

It looks like a "syslinux bootloader" problem to me, it appears that Rufus did not install the file in question to your USB stick/HDD properly.

You would need to install this file to the appropriate folder, on your USB stick/HDD.

The following links should give you some ideas on how to proceed:

Here's some info about SYSLINUX:
