could not find kernel image menu.c32

[imstuck]

I have an asus eee pc 1005HA. I am trying to boot backtrack from a usb drive. I followed the steps on the website....

formatted to fat32
used unetbootin with the bt4-final.iso file (located on the usb drive)
restarted, went into bios and set the usb drive as the bootable device.

then when it starts I get this message
could not find kernel image menu.c32

and it keeps printing it to the screen repeatedly about every 5 seconds. I see a menu.lst in the boot/grub directory and it looks like it has automatically placed a menu.c32 on my usb drive but it is size 0kb. Suggestions? I'm running windows xp right now. Thanks.

Start over and try again.
Probably the easiest way.

start over with using UNetbootin?

im geting the same error... and my file is 0kb too..

I had the same problem. Turns out it was due to using a 2 gig flash drive; seems BT4 with the couple extra boot files from unetbootin comes in just over that amount, so the last couple get written zero length.

Not sure if there's a file in there isn't essential and can be deleted to free up space, but I'm thinking you'll just have to do like me and track down a larger usb stick.
