* Sorry, for my bad English.

I had downloaded last devel. iso to try openSUSE 12.1. MD5 sum is correct. But loading openSUSE 12.1 fails with message «No device matched MBR identifier: 0xf85b2bfc». Maybe it could not find my USB device?
openSUSE 12.1 starts if the CD disk is used instead of USB key.

Reproducible: Always

Which iso?
Comment 2 Dmitry Ashkadov 2011-07-26 08:52:37 UTC 
openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-Build0136-i686.iso
Comment 3 Steffen Winterfeldt 2011-07-26 09:20:06 UTC 
ok, it's probably a kiwi issue, then
Comment 4 Marcus Schaefer 2011-07-26 09:32:42 UTC 
Well this looks again like a isohybrid problem. kiwi called it with
id 0xf85b2bfc. But the iso contains:

  dd 2>/dev/null if=openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-Build0136-i686.iso bs=1 count=4 skip=$((0x1b8)) | perl -e 'printf "0x%08x\n", unpack "V", <>;'

   0x7fffffff

that's the reason why it does not work.

Steffen can you check why isohybrid wrote that id, you said this was
fixed in the upstream isohybrid ?
Comment 5 Marcus Schaefer 2011-07-26 09:37:39 UTC 
just for reference:

   isohybrid -id 0xf85b2bfc -type 0x83 openSUSE-KDE-LiveCD-Build0136-i686.iso

fixes that problem:

   syslinux-3.86-7.4.x86_64
Comment 6 Steffen Winterfeldt 2011-07-26 09:51:21 UTC 
It was, but the fix had its own problems. Fixed again.
