[Voyage-linux] Can't boot from USB flash drive

[Danny Adair]

Hi,

I installed a plain vanilla voyage-0.2 on a usb flash drive on sda
(sda1 is ext2) on my host.
When I boot from it (on the target computer) I get:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 140k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.   Try passing init= option
to the kernel

I also see that hda was detected. The target computer has a hard disk
but I don't want to use it at all. I want to boot and work only off
the usb key.

README says:
4.4 Known Issues ======================
- There is a problem reported when installing voyage over usb device
using ub kernel module. Moreover, it is assumed that voyage is
installed in /dev/hda1 of the target platform.

Any ideas? I couldn't find the problem report in the archives.
I suspect that LILO needs to be configured differently but a) I don't
know much about lilo and b) there is /etc/lilo.conf
/etc/lilo.conf.voyage and /etc/lilo.install.conf and I don't know
which one to change.

I changed hda to sda and hda1 to sda1 on all of them but to no avail.
I appreciate any help.

Cheers,
Danny
