Well, I considered that, but the standard F10 kernel boots without any problems from both the USB flash disk and the SD card. It is only when I use my optimized kernel that I face problems booting. I enabled all the options that I could find in the kernel config which I thought were related to booting from USB devices but apparently I missed some.

Can anyone > give me an idea what those packages might be? some random guesses.. mkinitrd probably doesn't support booting off of the mmc device. or if it does, perhaps the mmc modules are missing from the initrd.
