Problem with creating bootable mac 10.14 (prelinkedkernel problem)

Hello I followed a macOS guide for creating an usb with macOS 10.14 (Mojave)


Everything was fine until end but when the bar of copying files reached 100% I've got an error


Erasing disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 30%... 100%

Copying to disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 30%... 40%... 50%... 60%... 70%... 80%... 90%... 100%

Making disk bootable...

Copying boot files...

Failed to copy boot file: “prelinkedkernel” couldn’t be copied to “PrelinkedKernels”.

The bless of the installer disk failed.

I'd appreciate any help

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15

Can you verify the USB flash drive is formatted as GUID/extended journaled (HFS+)
