Hi,
I've been experimenting with making a USB flash drive bootable. I've got a 512MB pen drive with Gentoo on it. I had to add the rootdelay option to the kernel boot options, otherwise I'd get a kernel panic. I also had to build SCSI, usb and usb-storage into the kernel.
I am assuming that Barry has the necessary kernel bits as he has said that the USB boot kernel is built with a similar config to his laptop one and that mounts a USB volume.
But the lapic rootdelay=10 is a good tip...as soon as I have finished the real work I am doing here I will give that a go.
Cheers Wayne
