You are right. I guess it failed to mount the device where root.lrp
were. I don't remember the exact kernel panic message but it was
probably "trying to kill init" or something like that.
The problem wasn't the kernel panic but that it couldn't find root.dev.own.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I don't think I'll have the time to
debug it. I just wanted to test. I was curious if it worked to
distribute usb images.
First thing failed was the missing dos mbr. (probaly because my bios
require it and Jørn's bios does not?) Second thing was the "kernel
panic" (which was not really a kernel panic problem but rather mounting
the right device problem)
If I'm gonna guess without really debug things, (blue sky....) I would
guess that the scsi subsystem detected my SATA disks and placed the usb
device as /dev/sdc or something like that. If thats the case, then I
would suggest that you scan the scsi bus and fond out what is disks and
what is usb and create a symlink, in a similar way that you scan for the
cdrom in MKBLKDEV:
for file in /proc/ide/hd?/media /proc/scsi/scsi; do
[ -r $file ] || continue
while read line ; do
case $line in
*CD-ROM*|*cdrom*)
CDDEV=${file#/proc/*/}
CDDEV=${CDDEV%/media}
[ "$CDDEV" = "scsi" ] && CDDEV=scd0
break 2
;;
esac
done <$file
done
[ -n "$CDDEV" ] && ln -sf /dev/$CDDEV /dev/cdrom
But again, I haven't really investigated it. It's just guessing...
