Hi all, I would like boot LEAF from a USB stick device, but am having some difficulties. It seems my USB drive isn't being seen soon enough. It only seems to find the LRPs if I add a "diskwait=yes" option to syslinux.cfg. Otherwise I get package-not-found errors.
The USB subsystem seems to be loading fine - I am using the appropriate initrd_usb.lrp module (I think) and the driver apparently finds a UHCI controller. However, I get no information about /dev/sda1 unless I put in that diskwait=yes option. I need to find a way to put in some kind of wait or delay so it requires no user interaction to proceed with package processing. My syslinux.cfg: ==== display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux initrd=initrd_u.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/sda1:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/sda1 LRP=root,etc,local,modules ==== Using LEAFCFG led to errors, probably because it requires /dev/sda1 to be present. Again, the above cfg works fine if I add "diskwait=yes". It errors out looking for packages if not. Could there be some race condition here where LINUXRC isn't waiting long enough for my USB drive to be registered? If I add "diskwait=yes" the first line AFTER "LINUXRC - PLEASE INSERT DISK2" is "/dev/sda1 registered" (or something to that effect) hmmm... I would really appreciate any help here...it would get me out of a major jam.
