Install BT2 on a usb stick (full install) -> kernel panic

[security-blog.eu]

Hi,

I'm trying to install bt2 on an 4 GB USB Stick and get the well known kernel panic . I allready tried the hints within this howto:

forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=6868

However I still get a kernel panic

Maybe somebody could figure out what I did wrong:

1. boot bt in a VM
2. partition the usb stick (1 primary ext3 partition with boot flag 3500M, 1 swap partition 500M)
3. mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 to get a file system
4. mount sda1 and the cd
4. start the installer and perform a full install
5. chroot to sda1 and go to the kernel files
6. make menuconfig -> Device Drivers -> USB support:
- * EHCI ..
- * OHCI ..
- * UHCI ..
7. make
8. make install
9. boot to the USB Stick -> kenel panic

Thanks!

I've installed it many times on a 1GB USB stick. I have Windows XP (and Vista) and I use MagicISO or UltraISO.

You probably have Linux so this probably wont be helpful to you.

Also, I've read somewhere that the version of VM matters a lot. I think the latest version (6?) is the one to have. Not sure, but I would definitley do a search for the VM version you need.

All I got.

lol you want to do a real install from windows ..........you can't do a real install in fat32...............only a live.......

BT IS INTENDED TO BE LIVE WHY DO YOU WANT IT REAL ?

I am ahaving the same problems on my USB Stick

RAMDISK:Couldnt find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
VFS: Cannot open root device "803" or unknown-block(8,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option.


even tried shamanvirtuels guide but I am having problems with the liloconfig

click ok when done close installer window

we now need to update the kernel boot parameters in order boot bt on the key and to activate permanent changes so we will need to rebuild the mbr




liloconfig

Expert

Begin with new one

Shall i reboot so that it boots on my new usb device first before running liloconfig If i do that i get the same error as before.
