14 Hello Richard,
15
16 I do have all the file system drivers compiled into my kernel (not as
17 modules), as I always have. I am beginning to think that the problem is
18 that this is a USB drive (well, converted into one, anyway). Not to
19 mention the fact that my primary partition is Windows and not Linux.
20
21 If anyone has been able to boot from a USB 2.0 drive, I would appreciate
22 some pointers on how to get this installation working.
23
24 Regards,
25 Chris
