One of the problems with usb drives is that they can take a long time to appear. I've never tried to boot from usb, but ISTR that there is a command-line argument to wait for the drive. A quick look in the kernel's Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt (you can read it from the tarball in 'view' if you don't have the kernel source tree handy) suggests boot_delay= might be what I'm thinking of. Perhaps try boot_delay=15 which should be a ridiculously long wait. If it works like that, cut it down until you've reduced it too far, then back off a bit. I expect you've already seen the following guides, but just in case: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/USB_Booting and http://wiki.debian.org/BootUsb ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
