Content from CF to USB - Djape - 2009-07-27 Hello there, I have XBMC Live (latest SVN) and it is installed on CF Card 4gb (via card reader as removable drive). After that I have changed following line in menu.lst (boot=usb to boot=disk) kernel /vmlinuz initrd=initrd0.img boot=disk quiet splash xbmc=intel,nodiskmount,tempfs,setvolume loglevel=0 and plugged it in IDE to CF adapter. It works like a charm. If I need to plug CF card again to card reader I just change back to boot=usb When I play a while and mess up the things I just copy back CF content from XP folder to CF card and I'm up and running. However, I tried same process with two USB sticks (Kingston DataTraveler 4gb G2 and Kingston DataTraveler 8gb) Copy pasted the content changed to boot=usb but can't boot xbmc. My PC boot's fine from USB sticks if other bootable OS is on them. So, I guess is not just that simple as I thought... Is there something I'm missing here? Any tips would be highly appreciated - bobo1on1 - 2009-07-27 Does the usb stick have grub installed? - Djape - 2009-07-27 Hello, thx for reply. It doesn't! Now that you've asked, I remember that I have installed grub to both CF cards, MBR, so that's why it works on them and USB not. Thx man Now I need to figure out the easiest way to install grub to mbr. I have one box running on CF 4gb card and need to install 7 USB sticks with bootable XBMC. - bobo1on1 - 2009-07-27 dd is your friend - Djape - 2009-07-27 I'll do it with DD, but have to be very careful, last time I wiped my HD Cheers and thx one more time - bobo1on1 - 2009-07-27 If you want to be really careful, disconnect your hd and boot from a Ubuntu cd. |
