Update:
I reinstalled F16 to the external usb HD using the default partitions. New problem: on "loading initial ramdisk", the system goes to a black screen and then reboots.
BTW, GRUB is loaded onto the external HD.
Thanks.

Hi Everyone:
My Machine: Toshiba NB 305 (Netbook), 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, installed Fedora 16 (3.1.0-7.fc16.i686) to external USB hard disk (Toshiba 80GB). Boatloader also installed to external HD. Two partitions, root and swap.
Problem: Install went well. On first boot (and all subsequent), received following error:
"Loading initial ramdisk
1. 175159 Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive
Kernel panic - not syncing: no init found
try passing init= option to kernel"
Remarks: Running from the liveusb stick works well, no problems.
Thanks for any
help.
