Boot iso on pen drive by grub installed on pen drive
Hello!!!
I have a pen drive with grub installed.
With it i'm trying to boot the knoppix iso KNOPPIX_V5.1.1.iso wich is on the 4 partition of the pen drive...
Those are the partitions:
Code:
Dispositivo Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 1 1 8001 83 Linux
/dev/sdc2 2 106 843412+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdc3 107 200 755055 83 Linux
/dev/sdc4 201 976 6233220 b W95 FAT32
I extract the folder /boot from the iso and i copied it in the same root where is KNOPPIX_V5.1.1.iso the list of file is:
Code:
boot KNOPPIX_V5.1.1.iso
I tried to configure grub menu.lst for booting from iso...but when i boot knoppix i always receive the error:
Code:
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.
The grub's configuration is:
Code:
title Knoppix 5.1.1
root (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=it apm=power-off vga=791 nomce quiet fromhd=/hda4/koppix.5.1.1.iso or even fromhd=scan config=scan home=scan ramdisk=32768 noprompt
initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt.gz
quiet
boot
I tried a lot of time and i think the error is in the grub's configration where i wrote fromhd=/hda4...because with hda knoppix search on my first hard disk but it must search for the pen drive...
I hope you can help me...
Thank you!!!

Jena,
Give it a try with a slight rewrite to"fromhd=scan" and note the result. I'm actually using a version of the 5.3.1 CD, with the contents ripped from the disc and copied onto a USB stick. Your system should work fine with one or two minor changes to menu.lst.
