Hi,
I installed Fedora 11 on a DiskOnKey. I booted from this DiskONKey
successfully on the machine
on which I made the installation. However, when I tried on two
different machines, it failed, and it reached the
grub command line. On a third machine it reached a line containing the
word GRUB only.
I wonder - is there a way to install Fedora 11 on a DiskOnKey so that
it will boot from any machine (which is capable of booting from USB )?
Note: I had made my trials on motherboards after verifying that these
motherboards **do** support boot from
USB disk on key.
This is the grub.conf on the USB DiskOnKey:
title Fedora (2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 ro root=UUID=e73e50db-2420
-4792-a347-3e15ed38c5b9 rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64.img
Sure, duplicate that stanza and change just the "root" line to hd1 in the 2nd,
hd2 in the third, etc. And maybe change the title to remind you which is which.
The boot from a stanza which matches where the BIOS maps your USB drive.
Pedantic note: I bet you can also do this by switching the mapping with the map
directive, but that's way harder to explain.
