Here is my attempt to help: I do hope it _is_ help, because it are only questions. How does the partition table of the USBmemorystick look? Can you mount the /dev/sdX2? I say sdX because the testcomputer may have a /dev/sda (and a /dev/sdb ( and /dev/sdc)) for itself? When in the live system, what shows `mount`? When in the live system, what is the output of `cat /proc/cmdline`? Groeten Geert Stappers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
