This the same USB disk had earlier Gentoo burn ISO I did it maybe 5-year ago and was booting just find from the machine I"m trying to make it to work. I wanted to have current/updated ISO image on it. But doesn't matter what I do it doesn't work :-/ I just tried "usb_instal.sh" script from systemrescuecd-x86-4.3.0.iso and my box boots just fine. So why do I have problem using "unetbootin" and generating bootable USB manually. -- Joseph
