Dear

About details of none want to boot:
Computers claims that there is no system and didn't loading datas on USB
even usb device is detected on bios.
I have tested 2 different usb sticks : EMTEC and VERBATIM

i need to know too if i'm using the right process in order to build an
FAI usb boot stick ?

Dear,
The usb stick is formated has ext2 and a boot flag is added.

blkid
/dev/sdg1: UUID="87b6c945-ead3-4ca0-8c44-758d326921f1" TYPE="ext2"
i'm using fai-cd has these commands
mounted usb stick
# mount -t ext2 /dev/sdg1 /mnt
#fai-cd -m /home/mirror -n -u /mnt
fai send success after operation

Root partition is (hd2,0), device is: (hd2)
Installing grub.
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
But no computer want to boot on this stick, i have tried 3 computers,
with bios changed to boot on usb and none want to boot.
- Did you properly umount /mnt afterwards?
- Could you give some details on what "none want to boot" means? Some error
message or the like?
- Some pages on the net claim that it may depend on your USB-stick whether it
can be made bootable or not, so maybe try another USB drive.
HTH,
Michael
