[Voyage-linux] Voyage linux on USB flash drive

Hi,

I want to install voyage on an usb and run my laptop with voyage.

I've been following your howto on Voyage Linux on a USB flash drive but I haven't been successful to boot my laptop using the USB with Voyage Linux.

Following this link I have generated the kernel debian package setting the options for USB to "y"

# CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 DEB_HOST_ARCH=i386 ARCH=i386 make-kpkg --arch i386  --cross-compile - --revision="3.0usb" --append-to-version "-486-voyage" --initrd kernel-image

I'm using ubuntu 10.04 as the build system.

Then I have chroot in the voyage-0.8.0 directory to install the new kernel. But I've got the following error a the end of the installation:
--------

Could you give me any advice that can help me out?

Thanks
Jorge
