ARG, this bug website ate all that I wrote...
Knoppix uses microknoppix miniroot.gz, I expanded it and found that in it's init it has a loop and searches for bootable material. Ubuntu's initrd init has an option to take UUID for selecting root. Now if I can only get what UUID SYSLINUX is running on, and pass that to the initrd, I should be fine. I imagine that a potential bad thing with the knoppix loop is that if I put two knoppix drives in my computer, I couldn't know for sure which one will be mounted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912667 Title: USB media fails to boot on netbook.
