Hello,

A while ago I downloaded Backtrack version 3 beta, USB version (extended) from http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html. I used the MD5 hash provided to check the integrity of the DL and it was all OK.

Then I followed the instructions included (actually, to make this installation under windows I had to search google for slightly different instructions, but I'm mostly sure I'm doing everything correctly) and I created a bootable USB stick with backtrack. Now if I try to boot from it I get the following message:

SYSLINUX 3.36 2007-02-10 CBIOS copyright (C) 1994-2007 H Peter Anvin
Could not find kernel image:linux
boot: _

Now it sits there doing nothing and no command I've tried yielded any result. What is wrong with it?

I've googled and noticed that quite many people have the same problem, not with backtrack in particular. I would have posted this in the remote-exploit forums, but it won't let me register and I've waited 3 days! I've tried the USB stick with all my USB ports and with another PC as well, same result.

Since this thread got a lot of views I figured I'd post the solution for other users to know. Follow the link below:
