So, what's grml-small's problem? Seems you're mixing bootoptions for grml2hd with interactive mode: > [*] grml2hd partition=/dev/hdc1 mbr=/dev/hdc filesystem=ext2 \ > user=keeling root=/dev/hdc1 You seem to be running this command in the shell, right? Of course it won't work then, because you specified 'partition=/dev/hdc1' as your partition instead of just '/dev/hdc1'. 'partition=/dev/ice' is relevant only for automated installation of grml2hd, see 'man grml2hd'. regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
