/casper/vmlinuz: not found

When I start Ubuntu and chose one of the settings it says:

/casper/vmlinuz: not found

I have Ubuntu on a USB drive. I used this USB creator: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/

I have done this 2 times now and the same thing happens. What can I do?

I even checked my casper directory. It has the vmlinuz file but it still reports the same error.

Solution 1:

I also had the same problem with a daily built of Ubuntu 13.04.

The problem seemed to be that the file in /casper/ was named as "vmlinuz.efi" instead of "vmlinuz" -without ".efi" - which it was looking for.

After removing the ending (.efi), Ubuntu procceded without any implications.

Solution 2:

1. If the message is /casper/vmlinuz: not found you can perhaps open the usb drive and check if it has a directory named "casper" and it contains a file named "vmlinuz", and if this file is not there, probably something went wrong, and perhaps it can work if you can open the iso file (which is a packed file in deed) and extract it from there.
2. You can try another usb live creator like this one: www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

Solution 3:

Using dd-mode instead of iso-mode in Rufus 3.13 solved the problem for me.
