[SOLVED] No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!

So I have copied (as usual the iso into usb disk (/dev/sdc)

sudo dd bs=4M if=archlinux-2014.08.01-dual.iso of=/dev/sdc

but when I boot to my new PC, it shows

ISOLINUX 6.03 6.03-pre18* EHDD Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!

I have tried also for archlinux-2014.05.01-dual.iso and manjaro-xfce-0.8.10-x86_64.iso, but it shows the same result.

I have tried to rename syslinux folder, syslinux.bin, syslinux.cfg to isolinux, as suggested here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/329704/s … tive-found using isomaster, then dd back to usb, but it won't boot at all.

Note: this never happened on my previous PC..

Motherboard: MSI H81M-E33

How to solve this problem?

Re: [SOLVED] No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!

nevermind, it's usb disk's fault, when I copy the iso file into the usb disk, the md5sum is different from the source (harddisk)..

USB Disk: Kingston 8GB --> i guess it's fake Kingston

USB and ISO images are usually different.

I just copy the .iso into the usb (not using dd) then check it using md5sum,
I'm not md5sum-ing the USB..

You need a .img for a USB not an .iso.  If you don't have a .img you can make using unetbootin.

Re: [SOLVED] No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!

I failed once (for each) when i'm using archlinux/manjaro/centos with unetbootin, since then I always use dd instead of unetbootin for archlinux/manjaro/centos..
I only use unetbootin for ubuntu/mint.
