/boot/syslinux/ldlinux.sys: no match for target

If you are getting the error

"/boot/syslinux/ldlinux.sys: no match for target
syslinux: warning: unable to move ldlinux.sys"

then you are probably trying to install the syslinux boot loader to solve it make sure

1) your drive ( partition)  which you are trying to install syslinux on is either FAT16 or FAT32 otherwise syslinux will fail to start.

2) you have already created the file in your storage. using

$ mkdir -p /boot/syslinux/

then normally execute the syslinux installation command

$ syslinux -f -d /boot/syslinux /dev/sdb1

  1. Thank you. I had it FAT, instead of FAT32.
    It was so because it was the only option in the gui of Disk tool.
