32GB USB, FAT32, YUMI 2.0.9.4, not booting any OS. But aother stick with YUMI 2.0.6.9 (2019) works.
I insert USB into Thinkpad x60, Power up and hit F12 for boot choice. It boots into the YUMI loader screen OK but when an OS is chosen it reads;
Booting 'Boot bionicpup32-8.0-uefi'
(hd0)
cannot create a partition with a blocklist of a whole drive.
Error 30: (http://grub4dos.chenall.net/e/30) [dead link-] Invalid argument
Press any key to continue...
Thinkpad X60 32bit with Linux Trisquel 8 lite. All the OS put on YUMI are x86 - devuanpup 9.7.0-chimera_4.0_i386.iso, bionicpup32-8.0-uefi.iso, debian-edu-11.4.0-i386-netinst.iso
Scanned the 'Integral 32GB USB' and is free of any virus.
I used Win 7pro Thinkpad to create YUMI on USB. It worked OK years ago so 'rinse&repeat'.
Originally I wanted to load a single OS from the stick onto the X60 HD but can only get an old copy of Trisquel 8 to load from DVD.
Any ideas how to make the YUMI loader work ? Or a single 32bit Linux OS install on my X60 ?

Re: YUMI Linux boot loader failure
I'm not familiar with the Trisquel OS distro.
With that said, Trisquel does have a users forum. Have you tried asking the users on that forum for help? The link to their forum is below.

Re: YUMI Linux boot loader failure
That x60 is a pretty old laptop. On the Trisquel forum we have a lot of people with experience with using the x60's - you might want to go over there and post about the usb issue in the main forum: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-users
I haven't personally used an x60, but I've worked with other old 32-bit pc's that would not boot from a usb drive and would only boot from a dvd drive. If you want to try a new distro that's likely to work (at least from a dvd), I put a couple of respin ISO's of the antiX Debian-based distro that are each under 700mb here: https://archive.org/details/antiX21Libr ... EwAbrowser
They are respins of the most recent version of antiX without any non-free software or firmware. One ISO is kind of a minimal version, and there's another with Trisquel's Firefox fork called "Abrowser" pre-installed. User name and password on each of them is antix/antix or root/root. I'm pretty sure that antiX has the latest 32-bit Pale Moon in its PackageInstaller from Steve Pusser, so if you can get it to run you'd be able to be using Pale Moon almost right away. More info about these respin ISO's is here: https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic ... d-non-pae/
antiX usually will run on just about anything, so I think that would be a good starting point if you are willing to try it. antiX has access to the full Debian repos, so there's no lack of software available.

Re: YUMI Linux boot loader failure
Ok I'm using antiX. Had to burn to CD as USB/YUMI wouldn't work for me. Thanks andyprough for the link. Currently using seamonkey.
