jaclaz Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 find --set-root /grldrroot (hd0,0)These don't make sense:You first make root on whatever drive/partition has grldr in root.Then you make root (hd0,0).Current root is of course determined by last root command issued. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilko_t Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 In addition- "root=/dev/sdb1" isn't an universal solution, in case you start on a PC with SATA drives for example. Better is to set a label for that partition, lets say FEDORA and change the option to:root=LABEL=FEDORAIn this case your root partition will be always found, regardless of hard drive numeration.

highlink Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks jaclaz for pointing that for me and realize that they both refer to same root, and excuse me for i am new to all these usb stuff .root (hd0,0)kernel /syslinux/vmlinuz0 ro rootfstype=msdos root=/dev/sdb1 quiet liveimg rhgbinitrd /syslinux/initrd0.imgilko i did not get your drift, did you mean to create a folder in my root named fedora and then change the entry or what.and for the the knowledge what do these enteries(hd0,1)and (hd1,1) refer to.

jaclaz Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks jaclaz for pointing that for me and realize that they both refer to same root, and excuse me for i am new to all these usb stuff .root (hd0,0)kernel /syslinux/vmlinuz0 ro rootfstype=msdos root=/dev/sdb1 quiet liveimg rhgbinitrd /syslinux/initrd0.imgilko i did not get your drift, did you mean to create a folder in my root named fedora and then change the entry or what.and for the the knowledge what do these enteries(hd0,1)and (hd1,1) refer to.(hd0) means First drive (Drive 0)(hd0,0) Means First Partition (Partition 0) of First drive(hd1,0) Means First Partition (Partition 0) of Second drive (Drive 1)(hd1,1) Means Second Partition (Partition 1) of Second drive (Drive 1).....About the Fedora thing, what ilko_t suggested is to assign a LABEL to the partition:http://www.ss64.com/nt/label.htmlhttp://www.ss64.com/nt/vol.htmlhttp://lissot.net/partition/ext2fs/labels.htmlWhat you see in an Explorer window beside the drive letter.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilko_t Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) I couldn't either, no matter using LABEL or /dev/sdb1. 2 partitions NTFS and one hidden Dell partition, probably that matters.BTW what special did you find about this Fedora live, compared to Puppy or DSL if it is for emergencies or repair? 690MB are giving you what?edit: yep, install from add/remove programs "ntfs-config", and use it to mount the NTFS drives. My Windows was hibernated and it refused to mount it without shutting it down first.http://lifehacker.com/391067/fedora-9-puts...-on-a-usb-drive Edited May 23, 2008 by ilko_t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
