Bug Description

Mirantis no longer provides a download for a .img to create a bootable USB drive. I have downloaded the .iso for both 6.1 and 7.0 and used multiple windows applications to burn .iso to USB drive. When the server boots, I select USB install from the grub boot loader and after a few seconds, it says "Unable to find kickstart file".

Hi Rich,

have you ever try https://docs.mirantis.com/openstack/fuel/fuel-7.0/operations.html#writing-a-bootable-fuel-iso-to-a-usb-drive ?

Stanislaw,

I'm using windows, dd is for *NIX systems. Is dd currently the only supported way to accomplish this task?

Rich, you can try http://www.chrysocome.net/dd or use any tool that will copy ISO sector-by-sector to USB drive (it is exactly what dd does).

This should be updated in the documentation and not closed. We should explicitly state that DD or block level copying is required.

Stanislaw,

After reading through the documentation for http://www.chrysocome.net/dd, I came up with the following:

dd if=d:\MirantisOpenStack-7.0.iso of=\\.\e: --progress

The drive "\\.\e:" is assigned to my USB drive as indicated by the output of "dd --list". Once it said it completed successfully, I tried booting the server with the USB drive, but it just loads straight into the current OS. Does this USB drive need to be made bootable first?

Some comprehensive documentation would be much appreciated.
