hi,
i have external hard drive connected through usb. i put the following
line into /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb ext3 user,auto,exec 0 0
shouldn't that be: "users" instead of "user"
Plug the exter. HD into USB and post the last several line of "dmesg"
What does it say?
You should verify is Your instalation (grub or lilo) configured to boot
from SD* device (if you run natively from bios that allows boot from usb
drive) or You must compile in your kernel drivers to USB Storage. If You
use GenKernel, that drivers are in INITRD! It cannot be loaded as module
- must be compiled into kernel. If You have such configuration, try to
check your filesystem and MBR (Master Boot Record) for read errors. Some
USB devices also cannot boot from USB, but i think that is a problem of
Pendrives only. PS: I have gentoo on external drive, that boot correctly
from bios.
