I start a new thread in order to lower noise as the previuos was becoming too long.I changed the command to:
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
mkinitrd --preload=ehci-hcd --preload=usb-storage --preload=scsi_mod --preload=sd_mod /boot/usbinitrd.img 2.6.9-1.667
and it worked creating an usbinitrd.img
And now how to start if grub is not installed????
