i am atemptiong to make a usb flash drive which contains slax, DSL, freedos, and windows PE by using grub. however im running into problems getting grub to boot DSL from the flash drive. i have extracted the contents of the dsl 3.01 ISO to a ext2 parition in my usb flash drive, and here is what i have in the menu.lst for dsl.title DSL root (hd0,5) kernel /boot/isolinux/linux24 ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 nomce noapic quiet initrd=/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz boot DSL does boot but after it gets done scanning for USB devices it tells me the following cant find knoppix filesystem sorry dropping you into a very limited shell knoppix# what am i doing wrong?

perhaps fromhd=/dev/sda1assuming /dev/sda1 is your usb drive. Posted by lefty01 on July 30 2006,18:04
In my case:DSL scans for the /KNOPPIX folder (note the caps letters). Also, if you have some other distro with a KNOPPIX on a partition before the 6th, when DSL scans for it, it finds the one on the other partition.... Hope this helps.... |
