Error message installing LL 32 bit

[Uncle Dave]

I was trying to install LL 32 bit on my old Acer AO150 net book. I get the error message " isolinux.bin missing or corrupt "  Any ideas why this is happening? Just for laughs I tried my other USB drive with 64 bit LL on it and it boots up.

Also, confirm that the md5sum of the ISO file you downloaded matches the one listed on download page.  If not, re-download and burn again.

How did you put the LL iso onto the USB? What command or application/steps did you take to get LL onto the USB?

You may need to update the bios before it will install, but you need to make sure of the model you are running first. Is it an acer aoa150 or aod150 it makes a difference, and if you use the wrong one it will cause problems.

I have an Acer aoa150, and when I first switched to Linux, I had to upgrade the bios before being able to use Ubuntu 12.04.  I can probably help you find out if you need one, if you report back with the correct model #.

I installed LL 32 bit 2.6 onto USB using the instructions provided here ( https://www.135978621.xyz/manual/install.html ) using terminal command " sudo dd if=linux-lite-2.6-32bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M " on my LL 2.6 64 bit desktop system.

The other USB drive I made ( LL 2.6 64 bit ) was done on a Windows 7 machine using Win32DiskImager. I will try making the 32 bit version this way today and see if it works.

I did download the file from two different mirrors and got the same results. They both pass the md5sum check.

AVJ, I have a AOA150 with bios version 0.3310 10/6/2008  I looked online before trying the install and ASUS showed this to be the latest bios. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.

You are running the same bios version that I am, so I don't think that is the issue.  For anyone else who may be looking for information on the Acer aoa150 bios update they should try the following links.

A heads up about the Acer aoa150 these netbooks have a design flaw with the speakers being too close to the hard drive, high speaker volume on the internal speakers  can cause hard drive failures, if you intend to listen to music or watch videos use external speakers or headphones.

I created the LL 2.6 32 bit USB using Win32DiskImager on my Windows 7 computer and it works great! There must be some issue creating the USB using the terminal control " sudo dd if=linux-lite-2.6-32bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M " or I am doing something wrong using the terminal control.

Thanks for your input guys, I do appreciate your suggestions!

I have never used that command, but one thing I can see that could go wrong is if you miss the line below those commands that says:

Change the x in sdx to match the letter of your USB device.

[Uncle Dave]

avj, I did change that parameter and it did write to the USB drive so it is probably something else.
