I believe I see the problem here, I wouldn't be surprised if the UUID label when booting from the USB is different to the UUID when booting Suse. Actually I would be surprised if they were! Anyway, it looks like you are not using an initrd image. That means the root= part probably isn't necessary, by default the kernel will use the partition it is booted from as the root device which is what you'd want in this case. > > The menu.lst entry is: > root (hd0,7) > kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.27.4 > root=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-SAMSUNG_HM160HI_160000113662-0:0-part8 rootdelay=9 > > Thanks for your idea. > > > Hans. > Regards, Danny. -- In theorie is er geen verschil tussen theorie en praktijk. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
