Why should your USB-device on the laptop also be named sdd1 as it is on your desktop? > title LFS 6.5-UUID > root (hd0,0) > kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.30.2 > root=UUID=6cb4887-1eb2-4180-9566-391a8b3f7b45 ro rootdelay=10 > > title LFS 6.5-LABEL > root (hd0,0) > kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.30.2 root=LABEL=LFS-6.5 ro rootdelay=10 > I tried these too, but did not succeed either. The succesful advice I got was to delete the root= option altogether when booting from the USB-device because the bootpartition is already defined with the root(hd0,0) Grub-entry. I am curious to know what the experts have to say about why the UUID- and LABEL-options don't work.
