Now, I am coping with other problem. I have obviously created by the
rescue cd a new initrd image with the usb storage drivers. It is GRUB

GRUB appears on the screen and the systems freezes, albeit I have told
the Fedora installer to install grub on /dev/sda (and not /dev/hda).
So, can you suggest me a simple but good manual of grub ? I probably
have to reconfigure it, but I can do it from a working FC5 on hda... I
tryed to chroot to the FC6 on usb disk and launched grub-install
/dev/sda, but this is not the correct way :|
No ideas of where to hunt for information on getting a USB device
booting properly. I was counting on the developers getting USB installs
to just work without a lot of fuss. After all, what are we paying them
for? :-)
I have solved that issue, too. :) Basically, I have regenerated the
device map in grub, issued a grub-install, and then I had to reconfig
the grub.conf when booting (of course, I have regenerated the initrd
image including the usb-storage drivers) in the grub-shell minieditor.
If someone is intrested, I can post the step-by-step procedure.
Now I writing this email by the USB-disk booted FC6 prerelease.... :)
Thanks to everyone,
Andrea
I'd be interested in a clear procedure as to how to install successfully
to a bootable USB device. I imagine that many others will find such
advice helpful.
I'll probably give it a shot myself.
