Hello, currently I am creating a fai-image for a customized Debian squeeze distribution, which shall be bootable from an USB stick. I can boot this distribution through PXE. I can also create an ISO image, burn it on CD and boot without problems. If however I put the exact same image onto an USB stick, and I boot from there, I get a kernel panic. This works: fai-cd -m /var/www/debmirror /tmp/demo.iso then burning on CD, then booting, everything works fine.
This does not work: fai-cd -m /var/www/debmirror -u /media/stick then booting from USB stick, I get a kernel panic (see below). I also tried with the ISO image for i386, (using FAI 3.4.8, kernel 2.6.32, size 563MB, http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/faicd-3.4.8.iso) and transferred that on my USB stick as described in paragraph "FAI CD on a USB stick (using grub2)" on page http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/ but I get the same kernel panic (...snip...) mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. /init: line 276: 6: Bad file descriptor [ 7.815880] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempt to kill init! (...snip...) I am using fai-3.4.8 (from testing) on a fresh Debian Squeeze amd64 installation. Before I used version fai-*-3.4.7 from stable, but in order to create a CD ISO image, a component was missing (I forgot which one), therefore I switched to version 3.4.8. Any ideas or hints? Jacob
