I'm trying to boot from my USB-Stick. I have an CF-USB adapter 512MB and a 4GB Stick. Both have the same problem. After an grml2usb my Genode-System won't boot. So I mad it with Grub.
What does "won't boot" mean? Your box(es) can't boot using isolinux/syslinux but grub works?
My /boot/grub/menue.lst:
title Grml minirt root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinu root=/dev/sda1 ro acpi=off ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us usb apm=power-off vga=791 nomce BOOT_IMAGE=grml initrd /boot/minirt.img boot
syslinux (used at grml2usb) is using the following kernel commandline as default:
ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us usb apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt26.gz nomce quiet BOOT_IMAGE=grml
I had to make an initrd.img and I made it like wirtten in the wiki:
#update-initramfs -u -t -k $(uname -r)
I got:
Could not stat the resume device file.... /scripts/init-bottom |no such file or directory /root/sys |no such file or directory /proc |no such file or directory
This looks like output of an initramfs/initrd created by initramfs-tools.
so I tried it again with the original minirt26.gz. after a #gzip -d minirt26.gz and renamed as minirt26.img i can boot with grub but I got now only:
Could not stat the resume device file.... /scripts/local-bottom |done Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom... mount: Mounting /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev faild: No such file or directory
Same here. That's not grml's minirt26.gz but initramfs-tools.
Try dropping the 'root (hd0,0)' line and the root=/dev/sda1 kernel-option of the 'Grml minitrd' section in your menu.lst, AFAICS your system tries to boot from /dev/sda1 currently. :)
