Hi guys!

Im a newbie, and i have a problem (unusual isnt it ^^)

I have installed FC4 on my external USB hard drive, and followed the
guide on http://www.vigla.eclipse.co.uk/

I have med three partitions, /boot, /, and swap. I have made mkinitrd
as told to in the guide, but i havent written any changes to
grub.conf, because i dont know how to do. Instead, as the guide told
me, i wrote what kernel and initrd to use directly in grub. When im
booting it up it says like

Mounting root file system
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
Switching to new root
ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 0
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 1
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 2
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: 22
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

And then some very strange lines with like 01020x0213 blabla, if those
lines are important i can write them down.

What can be the problem? Is it that i havent changed the grub.conf? Or
is it some kind of timing problem thati read about in the guide?

Please help me! I know you can

Is another operating system already install on your usb disk? Will fc4
be your only operating system on the usb disk?    --gary
