I still don't know what I hadn't done, but I found a (sort of) way around it. Instead of partitioning the new disc and then copying files I simply did: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024k and then: e2fsck /dev/sdb2 and now the slug will boot from the HDD instead of the memory stick. I'd still like to know what was going wrong in the first place though. I've studied various web pages describing the boot sequence and it seems from the lights that the kernel loaded from flash simply couldn't find the root partition. Any suggestions as to why would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
