Jmax3 0 Posted October 27, 2005 You folks are probably sick of boot trouble,but , heres another one. I'm trying to boot Ubuntu on a external (usb) drive. It installs fine. Every grub install option fails. I tried MBR install,floppy boot,and installed drive boot . Grub shows both systems upon boot (XPee+Ubuntu) XPee and recovery on internal drive. Ubuntu is on external 20gig.(sda1) I choose 'Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386' I get graphic loading screen then: ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist, dropping to a shell System ( Ubuntu ) was installed to sda1. What am I missing here? At least Grub didnt trash my MBR this time. Thanks for any help . Share this post Link to post
danleff 0 Posted October 29, 2005 It Looks like the kernel is not loading the usb drivers for the drive. Apparently this has been a problem in the new release. See the Ubuntu thread located here. I don't have a solution, but you may want to post the problem on the Ubuntu forum. Share this post Link to post
