I have an old laptop which I would like to boot from it's internal HD and then mount / on an usb-stick inserted in a pccard->USB 2.0 device.
I tried to boot this, but initramfs did not seem to find the device (which, by the way, is LVM over LUKS). Perhaps it is not feasible to do what I want, but you are the experts. The cardbus device "just works" (but maybe not at initramsfs-time?), here is the output of lspci -v 02:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43) (prog-if 10 [OHCI]) Subsystem: Device 1758:0035 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at 2c000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: ohci_hcd Kernel modules: ohci-hcd Kind regards, -- Hans Ekbrand
