How to boot FC3 from a USB hard disk??

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I start a new thread in order to lower noise as the previuos was becoming too long.

I performed a installation on an external hard disk (Eide HD in a USB enclosure)
Please note that I had to add the noacpi option to linux expert, otherwise installation froze.


During installation I decided not to install Grub as my goal is to have a system booting Linux when the external HD i sconnected otherwise Windows must be started. No choices to the user....and I want to be connect to any system (mainly laptops) and use Linux

When I rebooted the system, of course it didn't boot (USB booting is available).

I tried to follow instructions at www.simonf.com/usb but I got lost.
When I issued the command
mkinitrd --preload=ehci-hcd --preload=usb-storage --preload=scsi_mod --preload=sd_mod /boot/usbinitrd.img 2.6.9-1.667smp


I get the reply that /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667smp is not a directory!!!

Where is my mistake??

And after that as I have no grub.conf to modify, what shall I have to do to start Linux???

TNX
