I installed a new USB external HD and installed kanotix in it.
I've done exactly what the wiki says about installing in a USB drive http://www.lingolex.com/internet.htm
so my /boot/grub/device.map looks like this
Code:
(hd0) /dev/hda
(hd1) /dev/sda
(hd2) /dev/sdb
(hd1,X) isn't bootable
(hd2,0) is bootable
When I try to boot, I get an error that the disk doesn't exist. I tried the grub command by typing root (hd<TAB> and only lists partitions of /dev/hda. If I type root (hd2,0) it gives the the same error, disk doesn't exist.
I tried different grubs, from floppy/liveCD/main sidux install. nothing worked |
