[avizack18]

Description

The ISO image created by penguins-eggs is missing a partition table and is not bootable. This prevents the ISO from being used to install the operating system.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use penguins-eggs to create an ISO image:

   # create the iso clone for user dirs
   eggs produce --clone
   

2. Insert your USB drive and identify its device name:

   lsblk
   

3. If the USB is mounted, unmount it:

   sudo umount /dev/sdX
   

4. Write the ISO to the USB:

   sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/your/iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress oflag=sync
   

5. Eject the USB:

   sudo eject /dev/sdX
   

6. Attempt to boot from the created USB drive

Expected Behavior

The ISO should have a valid partition table and be bootable.

Actual Behavior

The ISO is missing a partition table and cannot be booted.

Additional Information

• penguins-eggs version: latest
• Host OS and version: Lubuntu 24.04

Try testing the iso using Ventoy

I have exactly the same thing. Created clone from latest Mint and made bootable disk with built in app - did not boot. Finally when I did try with Balena Etcher I got the same error.

I have the same issue. Has anyone found a fix yet?

I have been working with penguin eggs on making a live boot and using Etcher to burn it to a USB. So far, I have seen the same error every time, but they all have booted and worked fine.
