So i downloaded opensuse iso on my pendrive with ventoy, but during installation I’m getting errors due to not matching 5SMD code or smh like that, is there a any way to install system to get a fixed iso?
Ventoy is great! Except that it doesn’t fucking work!
Just write your iso to a normal little usb with sd or whatever the distro recommends.
My ventoy keyring has a few extra usbs on it for this exact problem. I just boot something that will work with ventoy and use dd to make one of the extras into whatever it needs to be.
The openSUSE Wiki says not to use ventoy as it can cause boot issues.
Im receiving “load kernel first” during installation debian 12 so that’s not opensuse only error
Ventoy is hit and miss in my experience. Verify the MD5Sum and flash the iso directly to the drive.
you disconnected the pen drive too early and you didn’t unmount it first. Common issue with ventoy. Just delete the ISO from the ventoy folder, copy it inside again and wait 5 minutes, then unmount the pen drive, and don’t disconnect it before it’s successfully unmounted.
There are different ways to make an ISO bootable on a pendrive.
With each ISO they tell you with which tool you should do it, usually.
So, if it’s not “ventoy”, then it is another tool.
Pretty much no iso will tell you to use Ventoy, Ventoy directly boots isos. It is not writing a usb like most tools do.
Ok, I didn’t know that.
Pretty easy to imagine that most system installers would not work that way.
