Linuxcnc 2.7.14 not booting

Hi All,

I have tried installing Linuxcnc 2.7.14 onto my computer but i cannot seem to get it to boot on startup, after writing it to a bootable usb, i have followed the 'getting linuxcnc page'. I've verified it and used the dd command. When I restart with the usb it doesn't boot, i have checked boot options on startup but the usb is not listed but it worked fine when i installed ubuntu earlier. I have also wrote another usb on my windows 10 computer (how i did the ubuntu install) but still no luck.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Cheers.

Try win32imager or rufus.
DD worked for me always.

I've tried it using rufus but it still doesn't work

Did you try to boot it on another PC?

Yes, have tried it on 2 PCs not showing on boot options on either. I have wrote a different program the same way to usb and it boots up no problem.

Have you checked the MD5 of the image you downloaded? Maybe you just have a bad copy and need to try to download it again.

Yes, have downloaded 2 copies on separate computers and done MD5sum on both and they both are ok. Should i try and download using zsync?

What PC hardware and what LinixCNC image?
The Wheezy image may not boot on some newer hardware

Its a HP Pavilion G6 laptop, i downloaded Linuxcnc-2.7.14-wheezy.iso

Not sure what vintage that is (there seem to be new and old G6 models)
but you might try the stretch ISO
