What went wrong?
I'd guess your boot line has something like "root=LABEL=/"
and you dont have a filesystem which is marked as label = /
To start, you could either label a filesystem as '/' or, you can just
change that root= line to point at a real filesystem.
what WOULD be the 'real device' in the case of a USB thumbdrive?
since its the boot device, would it necessarily be enumerated first,
hence always /dev/sda ? or would it be after any other /dev/sd? that
happen to be present on the system, which would mean that its device
name is quite unpredictable?
OTOH, using LABEL=/ could be very problematic if there are any OTHER
devices present with a filesystem that has LABEL=/ ... I'd wonder if
you wouldn't want to use LABEL=USBROOT or some such (and label the USB
stick accordingly).
