(solved) Live USB won’t boot – cannot execute /sbin/getty

[Member Grisonix]

I went to boot a live usb and when it got to “INIT” it failed. Error messages:

INIT: cannot execute “/sbin/getty”

I made the USB using the Live USB Maker.

Try downloading again, checking the md5sum. And remake the live-usb.
(Unless someone else has seen this before – because I have made (probably) a hundred live usbs over the past 6 years, and I have never seen that.)

Thank you. Remaking the live-usb worked.
