Hi OJ,
I have just made a fresh installation and it can be booted from PC. What I did are:
* boot grml live cd from macmini * plug usb flash drive into macmini * grml2hd into that flash drive * on the very last installation process, i select to install lilo on mbr * i shutdown macmini * i plug that flash drive into my pc * i can boot grml from that flash drive on my pc properly
However, when I tried on macmini, it shows the same error message I provided you before.
Thanks, -- Chaitat Piriyasatit

Regarding this:
Maybe you could test the stick on a non-mac computer, just to be sure that it is working? And that this issue is (or is not) related to e.g. GPT-Issues.
I will use grml2hd to do a fresh install to my usb drive through my macmini and then I will boot this usb drive from a PC.
[I am using grml on another 8GB usb drive on PC]

Hi OJ,
I am sorry I did not attach the exact error message. I did not have computer access at the time.
Here comes the exact error message:
-- begin: error message --

OK so far.
I then rebooted macmini while the flash was plugged. Refit saw my flash drive with a linux icon.
Good.
I chose to boot from that. I failed.
Not good.
The error message was something like cannot find OS to be loaded.
Sorry to say that, but without a crystal ball no one will be able to help. Maybe you should tell the *exact* error message?
