Re: kubuntu vs fedora initrd init files

Mikkel,
one pure kubuntu on usb, no disk reordering.
I believe this is kubuntu 6.06 dapper, but done via debootstrap methods,
which i just followed recipe found on web in dec 2006.
It was first working on scsi, but then copied to usb

I had to revive it, bc my fc5copy files were in top dir on usb.
I redid the kubu debootstrap on usb; first set up on usb on dec22 2006
first mv'd out the fc5copy files to /mvfc5
2nd mv'd back kubu debootstrap files into top dir of usb
this booted fine, so my mv out and mv back  no problems,
and kubuntu is on sdc, no reordering of disks.

This may well not be what you wanted bc of the special debootstrap stuff
but it is a case that is "pure" kubuntu, on sdc1, no reordering


(I also currently have  kubuntu 6.06.1 LTS  from Install/live CD,
which I somehow managed to install on scsi, in sdb5, also in dec 2006
--it is an install, i am certainly not booting off of CD.
It still boots from scsi sdb5.
I was hoping to get this booting on usb, but so far it is failing,
in part bc of some glitches in my backup tools.)

here is data showing debootstrap version usb booting on sdc1

from grub.conf :

title kubuntu dapper usb debootstrap
###   root (hd0,0)  #### pick up kernel,initrd from sda1,works
      root (hd1,0) ### sdb1, only kubufiles cp from kubuinstall,works
###      root (hd2,0) ### doesnt work
      kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 ro root=/dev/sdc1
      initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386


So, is this useful as proof that kubuntu does not reorder usb to sda?
or is this debootstrap business too tricky to say anything
about a pure standard install?
