When I start the rescue mode, no linux system is found!!!! and if I

What am I missing???
the `expert' flag after `linux rescue'. USB disks aren't searched without it, for some reason I can't fathom.
I re-installed from scratch, with automatic partitioning (LVM volumes..) Then following Simon's instructions I created a usbinitrd.img.
Please note that I want to start up automatically Fedora only when the USB disk is connected (no alternative OS available), and when USB is disconnected Windows XP will be started
Now I have only made modifications connected to the new image to grub.conf
My grub.conf file now looks like:
#boot=/dev/sda1
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage (hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinux-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd /usbinitrd.img
Is it correct??
How do I install grub now on the USB disk???
Tnx
I issued the command:
grub-install /dev/sda
I get the following reply Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
and this is my fstab file
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5, mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
Any idea, or shall I revert to ext3??? (Tnx to Simon for his help) -- Antonio M
