Goal
I was attempting to install Elastix 4.0 on a home PC via a Bootable USB, but never had any luck getting it to install past the CentOS7 part (it kept giving me a "Warning: /dev/root does not exist" error).
What I've Tried
My main PC is Windows 10 Pro, so after downloading the latest Elastix 4.0 .iso from "http://www.elastix.com/en/downloads/" (Elastix-4.0.74-Stable-x86_64-bin-10Feb2016.iso) I used UNetbootin to create my Bootable USB for Elastix 4.0. I put the now Bootable USB into the PC I want to put Elastix 4.0 on and started it up.
It gave me the "Install Elastix 4" menu, so I hit enter and waited. Then the install proceeded to do its checks for CentOS7, but ended up getting stuck and gave me an error message "dracut-initqueue[580]: Warning: Could not boot." and "Warning: /dev/root does not exist".
This is where I am stuck and cannot proceed.
EDIT #1: I signed up for the Elastix forms, and someone else also had this issue. They said they downloaded the .iso and used Rufus to make a Bootable USB, and then booted the installation using the Troubleshooting -> Install CentOS 7 using Basic Graphics ... but according to them, that apparently corrupted something else and then they opted to just use a DVD.
EDIT #2: I tested this, and making a Bootable DVD of the .iso does work great for local machines. Installing it via a VM also seems to work without hassle. As a personal goal, I would like to get this working via a Bootable USB.
Research
I did some research but a lot of the solutions I've noticed are using the dd command in Linux to make a Bootable USB for just CentOS7 because it is (was?) known that UNetbootin did not properly make a Bootable USB for CentOS7, and I can't seem to find anything that would assist in making the Elastix 4.0 .iso work properly via a Bootable USB. I did try other tools such as Rufus 2.7, Win32 Disk Imager, ISO2USB, and dd for Windows, though most rendered my USB not bootable at all (Rufus worked OK, but still got stuck at the CentOS7 part). Also, installing via a CD/DVD is not ideal, as I have no CD/DVD drive (and I want to see if I can get this working via a Bootable USB drive).
There seem to be a few guides out there for trying to create a Bootable USB for Elastix 2.x, but nothing for Elastix 4.0. Reviewing those, it looks like the guides reference some files that do not exist in the new .iso (ex: ks_default.cfg). Still, my issue pertains mainly to the CentOS7 error I'm getting so I don't think this is related.
Any assistance with this is appreciated, and if you require more information from my end just let me know. I'm willing to try / re-try anything.
Thank you in advance.

Look for this line, but it may change:
append initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CentOS\x207\x20x86_64 inst.ks=cdrom:/dev/cdrom:/ks/anaconda-ks.cfg quiet
Change it to:
append initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CentOS\x207\x20x86_64 inst.ks=sdb1:/dev/sdb1:/ks/anaconda-ks.cfg quiet
Hi there i solve this problem 80%.
i did some manual change at line:
inst.ks=cdrom:/dev/cdrom:/ks/anaconda-ks.cfg quiet
Mine:
inst.ks=scsi:/dev/sdb1:/ks/anaconda-ks.cfg quiet
hd is not recogniced by Centos7.
made my usb bootable with rufus 2.9
then open isolinux.cfg with notepad++
just change the line
inst.ks=hd:sdb1:/ks/anaconda-ks.cfg quiet
where sdb1 used to say cdrom

I have installed NetBSD 6.1.5 with full installation setting. However, when I run startx it says no screens could be found. So i tried "X -configure" and then "X -config ~/xconfig.conf.new" and I was brought to a very generic screen with a black x crosshair, but I was unable to exit this using the suggested ctrl+alt+backspace, so I had to force power off and check if my keyboard was recognized in the conf file generated, which it was. I have installed xdm, xterm, Xorg, and other X programs.
I am not familiar with setting up desktop environments from scratch. I am a newb who is used to Ubuntu esque installers doing that stuff for me.
Would someone be able to walk me though the installation or point me to a link which explains a step by step process?
What happens if you rename your xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Does startx or xdm work then?
Are you running this inside a VirtualBox or other emulator?
I have NetBSD on a Thinkpad T420 which I occasionally boot into Windows, and I've setup VirtualBox to be able to run the same NetBSD install when I'm in Windows. The key difference in the xorg.conf file is in the Device section:
Section "Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Also I've found the free version of http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ very handy - I use it to ssh into the virtual NetBSD box and then run X apps and have them display on the Windows desktop.
Final note - you might want to look out for the NetBSD-7 RC1 which should be out 'Real Soon Now', as there are some very handy improvements, including better support for most modern display hardware :)
I found that running startx from any directory with a .xinitrc file gives strange behavior in amd64 6.1.5 and 6.1.4. Delete (or rename) any .xinitrc files and try
xinit /path/to/windowmanager
Please read Chapter 9 of NetBSD Guide:
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-x.html
Section 9.9 discusses installing various Desktop Managers/Environments.
It turns out that I could run "X -config xorg.conf.new" as root on host and then ssh using putty to manually launch windows.
I am really new to Windows Phone 8 App development. I would be grateful to you if you can answer my question. I have a machine with Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 processor and when checked I found out that my virtualization setting enabled.
I installed Windows Pro 8.1 in to my machine and then it indicates that my Hyper Visor is default switched off and I had to run it. But when I run it after making some of the changes by restarting the machine, suddenly for some unknown reason it undoes every change made finally leaving the machine with no Hyper Visor running.
I come across the same process when I am to run the Windows Phone emulator to test Windows Phone 8 Apps.
I hope my issue is clear to you all, can someone help me to fix this issue or tell me the exact reason behind this?
I would look at my Windows Event log and see if you perhaps there's a problem with Hyper-V being incompatible with a driver or something like that. It may be failing to reboot and the doing a system restore to get the machine back to a bootable state (by rolling back Hyper-V). I've had problems with Hyper-V and my HP laptop's blue tooth drivers:
Here's the thread where I found out about that:
HP Bluetooth / Hyper-V woes
Updating the driver to the newest version on HP's site fixed my computer for a while, but then I had problems with Windows Update hosing my machine with an update to the Bluetooth driver.
I seem to have fixed it for good by going to RA Link's website and downloading a version of the driver that's newer than the one on HP's website. I'm not at my personal computer right now, but if you'd like I can see if I can find the driver version that seems to have fixed my Bluetooth/hyper-v problems for good.

I'm working on a debian 6.0 installed on virtualbox 4 hosted by Windows7, and I'm trying to get my STM32VL work using STLINK project that allows programming and debugging STM32 on Linux.
I followed their tutorial and installed all needed dependancies.
But when I run the program ./st-util -1, I get the following error:
tbarry#darkstar:~/stlink$ ./st-util -1
2014-03-20T10:18:48 WARN src/stlink-sg.c: Failed to find an stlink v1 by VID:PID
Error: could not open stlink device
Error: could not open stlink device
I underline that I have already installed Virtualbox extensions, and usb 2.0 is well handled.
Does anyone have an idea of what is blocking me?
I'd same problem. It was driver problem. Windows detected my st-link as mass storage device, so st-util didn't see it. I've used zadig utility in order to change the driver.
Not having found a solution to my problem, I tried with VMware player and it worked nice.
Conclusion: Whatever the problem I had, it was coming from VirtualBox.
Studying vision, I would like to play with the Microsoft Kinect.
Can I use it on my Mac?
I have not found any Library for Mac and fear virtualization on my laptop to use Linux.
I've accessed Kinect data on OSX using openframeworks and the ofxKinect addon (which uses libfreenect and libusb).
It's not the only option, just I've used and worked 'out of the box'.
Try downloading the Zigfu Dev Bundle for mac (http://www.zigfu.com) - that should get you up to speed with kinect development on mac.
Using Kinect on Mac is as easy as ordering Latte.
But there is also a lot of confusion on the Internet and sites that seem to be old and give you the wrong advice such as installing a separate sensor library in addition to OpenNI. Just go to the basic website and download SDK for your MAC:
http://www.openni.org/openni-sdk/
You might need to have prerequsities though I assume you have already installed them, such as:
sudo port install libtool
sudo port install doxygen
restart comp
sudo port install libusb-devel +universal
Troubleshooting:
"sudo rm -f /opt/local/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib"
"sudo port clean libusb"
"sudo port install libusb +universal"
No need to compile anything. You should be able to run ./Samples/Bin/SimpleViewer right away after you run sudo ./install.sh.The PROBLEM might be that you have already tried to run it unsuccessfully and put a camera in the wrong state. I have seen errors such as USB intercase cannot be set etc. as a side effect.
Running your code in Eclipse is a different story and may require a few extra steps and changing your Ubuntu code (using openni namespace, different includes, etc.)
I have been using SimpleOpenNI, a wrapper for Processing, all summer now. I use it for the Kinect to make games and demos. Last week, I have been getting a fatal error in my processing window and none of the SimpleOpenNI projects will work. Here is the error:
SimpleOpenNI Version 0.20
A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
See problematic frame for where to report the bug.
It appears as if the new OpenNI/NITE/SensorKinect drivers do not work with the SimpleOpenNI wrapper. I have tried it with people using the old drivers and everything still works. Problem is, you cannot download the old drivers off of the websites so I cannot test if it's that or not. You can see everything I've downloaded from the simpleopenni site: http://code.google.com/p/simple-openni/
Any help with this error would be appreciated. Thanks.

It looks like there's a problem with OpenNI.dll. Make sure that:
You have the dll (It should be in Program Files where you've installed OpenNI)
Make sure you've got the Environment Variables for the Open NI paths and that the paths are correct, otherwise, you might have the .dll file, but the .jnilib wouldn't know where it is.
Had a Kinect Workshop in Uni, and my colleagues using Windows all had issues with the drivers,
so I'm just passing on what they did:
Even though they had 64-bit versions of Windows they used the 32-bit version, and used Brekel OpenNI Kinect Auto Installer - Developer Edition v1.3.2.3.exe(direct link via developkinect.com) after reading this message:
Comment 4 by tijmenva...#gmail.com, Oct 21, 2011 Hey all I have Solved
the unsatisfied link dll error on windows 7 64 bits by installing java
runtime (jre-7u1-windows-i586.exe)and (Brekel OpenNI Kinect Auto
Installer - Developer Edition v1.3.2.3.exe) I uninstalled everything
and than it worked :)
hope this helpes
in Issue#17 on the SimpleOpenNI project issues page.
Another colleague used Synapse and OSC in Processing instead of SimpleOpenNI, but she had loads of errors with the drivers (basically spent a few good hours uninstalling/installing different versions). In her case, uninstalling any previous partial or complete drivers from the machine and deleting any registry entries related to PrimeSense(Sensor, Nite) and OpenNI, then using the installers from the links on the Synapse page, worked for her.
HTH
This is a long shot, but that exact error is also given if the Kinect USB and/or power supply simply becomes unplugged. Thought it was worth mentioning as it is not obvious from the error message itself and it may help someone out if they kicked their power supply and started searching for the above exception :)
