Hi. I am building a small (<16MB) portable linux-installation.
I want this linux-installation to be on an USB-disk (it works on ramdisk and NFS), but I can not make it work on USB: The kernel command line says root=/dev/sda1, but the kernel says: kernel panic: Unable to mount root fs on /dev/sda1. The partition check displays the IDE drive but not the USB - presumably because USB is initialized at a late stage in the boot process. USB loads correctly and is compiled into the kernel (modules are not present before root fs is mounted, so modules must be compiled-in). I can access the disk if I boot the same installation over NFS or in a RAM disk, but I can not mount my root file system on the USB disk. I do the booting with LOADLIN and an appropriate command line. Any help to make the USB driver see the disk at init time would be greatly appreciated.
