You have both those options, but I here you...

Re: LFS on vfat usb
Now that you mention it, I do feel pretty stupid saying that. But on the other hand, I'm not (or wasn't) familiar enough with Linux packages to know what I need. Next you're going to tell me that Slack checks for dependencies. 
On the LFS front, it does not boot. I suspect my kernel somehow, obviously. But I did include ext* support (no compression yet) and I did include the proper stage1_5 file in grub.
Code:
root (hd1,0)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.30.4 root=/dev/sdb1 usbdelay=10
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition

Re: LFS on vfat usb
Seems you are trying to load a windows partition there...
uh ok, firstly your primary drive is hd0, secondary is hd1 so dont confuse
secondly the reason it gives you that is perhaps because when you installed windows, it was in the primary drive (hd0) but now you added another primary drive, so when the windows boot loader looks at partition hd0, 1 or something it probably hits your swap.
one possible solution, in menu.lst file for grub:

Re: LFS on vfat usb
No, it's ext3 on my usb stick, sdb1. I got stage1, stage2, and e2fs_stage1_5 in grub.
Code:
title LFS 6.5-rc2
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.30.4 root=/dev/sdb1 usbdelay=10
So it's probably the kernel. I'll just comb back through the config when I have more time. |

Re: LFS on vfat usb

Re: LFS on vfat usb
Noooooooo... I'm done with vfat, no symlinks. It's ext3, all one partition at the moment. When I get it working I'll start fiddling with squashfs.

Re: LFS on vfat usb

Re: LFS on vfat usb
Yes, I have one sata harddrive with three partitions; sda1(win), sda2(reiserfs), and sda3(swap). Then I have the usb with only one partition; sdb1(ext3). Booting from the grub on the usb stick gives the error above while booting from the grub on my harddrive gives kernel messages but then panics cuz it can't mount root device.
Here is my lspci,
