Hi,
Grml wiki indicates that grml can use disk labels/UUIDs as root= option
for booting [1]. What's the correct syntax for that?
[1] http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb&DokuWiki=88eb0d5110993c6c4d0ca5992abee8fa
I searched hard and came up with the following, trying to boot my USB key:
title GRML on 1st HD
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b53f0a8b-deab-40b3-a84c-0779cb8b7772 ro
boot
title GRML on 1st HD
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-label/grml.boot ro
boot
title GRML on 2nd HD
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/b53f0a8b-deab-40b3-a84c-0779cb8b7772 ro
boot
But all gave me root filesystem not found error (grub boot normally, just
can't find root fs).
I'm sure the uuid and disk label are correct. What else could be the problem?
thanks
