USB booting :: Problem with USB Memory

Quote (meo @ May 12 2005,04:51)

Hello!

I'm using dsl-embedded on an usb-drive and that works very good. Since my bios doesn't support booting from usb I boot it from a cd when I don't use it embedded in Windows. I would suggest you to buy a usb-drive and try it out. Just remember that dsl-embedded takes up more space. I use a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 512 and I find it incredible good for DSL.

Have fun,

I am new to DSL, but not to *nix.

I am using a Cruzer Titanium 512 also. I have tried the script for .zip and HDD install from both live CD and embedded locally, versions 1.5 and 2.0. Have tried it on 3 brands of computer, all of which support USB booting. DSL will run embedded on the drive, but will not boot. I have also tried downloading the 5_way.tgz from w/in DSL, and running it there. It does not mount the drive, and I cannot mount it manually. PHLAK will run and boot on same drive. Device is formatted FAT.

Any ideas?
