I have a bootable usb thumbdrive now... three partions, msdos for syslinux booting, ext3 and swap. How can I grab my QEMU installed centos 4 image and put it on the ext3 /dev/sdc2 partition on my thumbdrive? THanks, Jerry

Just investigating a solution. I also hope its obsolete like you mention. Jerry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi all, I am soo close. I have have made my custom kernel from a DIFFERENT machine, I have hte USB booting, I have 3 partitions, 1-fat12, 2 - ext3, 3 is swap. on booting it says: VFS cannot open root device NULL please append root I tried root=/dev/sda2 and still nothing. Is there something about building a kernel on one machine and then taking that to another machine with different disk structure and it not booting??? What do you do in that case? I think - hope - this is my last step to get past... jerry
