Hello Richard, I do have all the file system drivers compiled into my kernel (not as modules), as I always have. I am beginning to think that the problem is that this is a USB drive (well, converted into one, anyway). Not to mention the fact that my primary partition is Windows and not Linux. If anyone has been able to boot from a USB 2.0 drive, I would appreciate some pointers on how to get this installation working.
