Hallo Keszav.
Thank You for the answer.
Try "insmod usbms" (USB Mass Storage module) and "insmod part_msdos"
(Load MBR partition table module).
Unfortunatelly no luck :( `ls' command does not see other drives than
hd0,
which is notebooks hard drive.
On a side note, why can't you
install grub2 to the usb directly instead of using a cd to boot the
usb? It is possible.
Actually I did it, ie. boot sector of my usb flash drive contains grub.
Problem is with relativelly old machines that do not support booting
from
USB. Such machines usually allow booting from CD.
My idea is to put simple grub2 chainloader that chains CD grub to USB
grub.
That's why my concern.
best regards,
Paul
Pawel, you can try any one of the four following grub.cfg to be put into
your bootable grub2 cd.
menuentry "Label - Vmlinuz " {
search --no-floppy --label --set xxx
linux /vmlinuz root=LABEL=xxx ro
initrd /initrd.img
}
menuentry "Label - Configfile " {
search --no-floppy --label --set xxx
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}
menuentry "uuid - Vmlinuz " {
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
linux /vmlinuz root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxx ro
initrd /initrd.img
}
menuentry "uuid - Configfile " {
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set xxxxxxxxxxxxx
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}
ps: o that is your /boot is in your '/' partition.
