usually the reason it would panic in this case, is a wrong boot device, or that the boot device is not yet loaded, or the driver is not builtin. One gotcha, is usually usb is detected later in the kernel boot. (after the part it mounds /) When debugging (or usb booting) I usually add rootwait, which waits until the root device is avaliable. (And a bonus feature, since it has yet to panic, you can scroll up/down using shift pageup/down). You can read the log and find out what is detected, and where. other commands can be found at /usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt [or just grab a kernel and extract it]. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
