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.
He thinks he has. :-))
I have built in IDE support (see my first post for config options), USB support (see below for config options) and SCSI support (see my 4th post for config options) but NOT SCSI emulation (Do I need that with a 2.6.8 kernel?).

I read the article, Wayne, but wonder if this applies to a 2.6 kernel. I did mention that I'm using kernel 2.6.8 but I don't know if that will be drastically different from a 2.4 kernel.
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.
I tried "append = "rootdelay=10" in the image section but noticed no delay in boot up and it still failed. Should there be a noticeable delay?
