Hello,
I did copy a FC4 working machine to a usb external disk before update.
However, I wanted to boot on this clone but I am still working to find a
way to have it work.
I am using lilo.
Can I find a clear example or a clear documentation on how to setup
up the lilo.conf file.
Thank.
We would need some more information:
Does your BIOS see the USB drive?
Probably no
Are you planning to boot this drive using boot from USB option, or
do you want it as an option from another boot loader?
Yes, I am trying to keep the lilo from the /dev/hda. From there I can
choice to boot from hda or sda.
Have you built a new initrd for the F4 disk with the USB and
usb_storage modules?
Yes,
I did by using some info that I got from the web. I have the following
error:
RAMDISK: compressed image found at block 0
Kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown
block(8,2)
Have you edited /etc/fstab to reflect that you are using a separate
drive?
Yes. But right now the error is with the init. I have not reach the fstab.
Is the procedure for FC6 or higher easier ?
Thank.
Regards.
Mikkel
