With your help and some browsing over net, I tasted some success. Here is what I got: 1) I used a live image to boot my system which has a 1.8" PATA HDD connected to it. 2) With live usb image, the system boots fine and after which I used Moblin installer GUI utility to install the image on the PATA HDD. 3) It got installed properly, then after that I rebooted the system and from the boot option menu, I selected boot from local hard drive, It booted nicely from the HDD, I have seen the content and verified that it booted from the local drive. 4) But when I removed the live image usb and then if I try to boot from local drive, the kernel booting simply hung, without displaying any message. I even used root_delay=5 also but it doesn't seem to solve my problem. What could be the possible reason of kernel booting from the stand alone HDD, while it was able to boot from the same HDD in presence of the live image USB. Is it something to do with BIOS?
