[TriLUG] booting off usbstick

[Pete Soper via TriLUG]

I guess we're going to need more details or I'm being dense about what you're actually trying to do.  Booting off a thumb drive "stick" is usually very easy.What, exactly, do you mean by "target" below? Which motherboard? Does it's bios have explicit support for USB device being in the boot order? You implied earlier that you connected this internally? Do you mean a MB USB header? There is something unusually here but I can't see it yet.Pete

I get a kernel panic if the target was a usb stick or a sata drive connected via a usb port.Joe-- Joseph Mack NA3T EME(B,D), FM05lw North Carolinajmack (at) wm7d (dot) net - azimuthal equidistantmap generator at http://www.wm7d.net/azproj.shtmlHomepage http://www.austintek.com/ It's GNU/Linux!-- This message was sent to: Pete Soper <pete at soper.us>To unsubscribe, send a blank message to trilug-leave at trilug.org from that address.TriLUG mailing list : https://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilugUnsubscribe or edit options on the web	: https://www.trilug.org/mailman/options/trilug/pete%40soper.usWelcome to TriLUG: https://trilug.org/welcome
