I am not sure about grub 2, but 0.97 knows nothing about filesystem |
| 9 |
labels (and neither does the kernel itself). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Where the syntax above works, it's because the distribution provides an |
| 12 |
initramfs containing (among other things) a script which looks at the |
| 13 |
kernel commandline and figures out the correct device node before |
| 14 |
attempting to mount the root filesystem. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The only sensible way to handle the OP's problem is to have everything |
| 17 |
USB-related (or at least usb-storage) built as a module. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Why would you want USB compiled in the kernel, anyway? Even if you were |
| 20 |
using an USB keyboard, you would not be able to do much if the boot |
| 21 |
process does not even reach the point where udev starts loading modules... |
