I am trying to install Manjaro on an unallocated partition. I download everything from their site using torrent. I use YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Installer) to make bootable USB. All goes well but when I start Manjaro, I select the replace partition option and try to install, I get this error:

Bad source

source="/bootmnt/manjaro/x86_64/root-image.sqfs"  

At first I thought it maybe a corrupted file so I redo it all but again same error occurs.

manjaro

  Probably not the case here, but i ran into problems creating usb boot sticks when using a faulty usb3 port to write the image. Its worth a try at least.

This answer endorses using dd to create the installer, not YUMI.

I don't know if all the UEFI stuff applies in your case.

Also, make sure you're not trying to install a 64-bit image on a 32-bit device. Been there, done that!

Got a similar error message when booting from a Multibooting USB (in my case prepared with multibootusb; while you're using YUMI). I solved the issue by comparing the path in /etc/calamares/modules/unpackfs.conf with the actual path (check in a terminal).
After I changed the path in unpackfs.conf accordingly, the installation was able to continue. e.g.:

---

unpack:

    - source: "/run/miso/bootmnt/multibootusb/manjaro-mate-18.0.4-stable-x86_64/manjaro/x86_64/rootfs.sfs"

      sourcefs: "squashfs"

      destination: ""

    - source: "/run/miso/bootmnt/multibootusb/manjaro-mate-18.0.4-stable-x86_64/manjaro/x86_64/desktopfs.sfs"

      sourcefs: "squashfs"

This answer endorses using dd to create the installer, not YUMI.

I don't know if all the UEFI stuff applies in your case.

Also, make sure you're not trying to install a 64-bit image on a 32-bit device. Been there, done that!
