Hi All,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question?
I am using latest GRUB2. I have made an image copy of a Linux system
running on a hard drive with a reiser filesystem. [ dd if=/dev/sda
of=/dev/sdc ] sda is a PATA hard drive and sdc is a memory stick.
I can mount the memory stick on a linux box and all seems OK.
I try to start that image with grub.
grub> linux (hd2,msdos2)/boot/vmlinuz
All seems OK. I can see on the memory stick that Grub reads vmlinuz as
expected.
grub> boot starts the image. But the image complains that it cannot find
its root filesystem.
I have tried many variations on the root=line to no avail.
grub> linux (hd2,msdos2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2
I was expecting grub to do whatever magic was needed to make the usb
stick available to the kernel as /dev/sda2.
Is this possible?
I was hoping to be able to migrate an up and running hard disk system
with lots of live files to a system running from a memory stick.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
John
