Backtrack 5 to Persistant on 3.0 USB drive.

[BBLotusSec]

Have two different usb drives and have tried multiple copies of Backtrack 5 yet keep having this problem.

Using UNetBootin (Universal USB Installer) Backtrack installs onto my USB just fine. I boot it up. Go online, mess around with settings. Then shut it down.

Now on the next boot up I get a error.

Error.Deleted inode refference 642614.


This cycles endlessly.

It must be a hardware problem or something.

16gb Transcend USB 3.0 bough specifically for this purpose. Fat32. Tried persistent memory at 4 gb then scaled it back to 2.5. Both Gnome and KDA. x64. (Can't remember if I tried the x84.)

I've reinstalled at least 4-5 times and it keeps happening....? ? ?

Using an Alienware MX17 with USB Renesa drivers.


Appears to only be a problem when using persistent memory. Have absolutely no issues when loading the forensics for example. Here's whats really strange. I also experimented with USB Windows 7 and
a Ubuntu 10... and again, doesn't work.

Wish I understood why.

I had the same problem.

I installed BT5R2-GNOME-64 on 8 gb SanDisk USB 2.0 using Linux Live USB Creator ver. 2.8 update 10 with persistent memory at 2.5 gb.
After the first run on Persistent Mode and on reboot, the following message appeared:

xx.xxxxxxxxxx EXT2-fs (loop1) : error : ext2-loopup : deleted inode referenced : 292644

The message appeared continuously with xx.xxxxxxxxx changing all the time, and occassionally the last six digits also changed to 195096.
I did not know how to stop it except to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the power button.

After the computer was restarted, the cycle repeated itself.

As I was using a different brand of USB drive, I suspect the problem is more because of software than hardware.
