    Fedora live usb with grub

    Hi there folks,

    is it possible to boot fedora live cd image from usb thumb drive using grub? im trying to make multiboot usb thumb drive with live option on it, but cant seem to get it to work.

    trying to load kernel and initrd resulting in this at the end of the fedora loading screen:
    Code:
    No root device found!
    Boot has failed sleeping forever!
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Regards, Gr0b

    pendrivelinux talks about grub4dos, something I wouln't like to use. the second link uses syslinux, another great tool, but not for me.

    Thanks anyway!

    What kind of tool were you looking for?

    linuxforums.org/forum/misc/10082-multi-boot-cd.html

    -or-

    you can try partitioning the flashdrive & editing the grub menu:

    -or-

    Thanks again, I'd like to use Grub, because it's the tool I'm most familiar with. second is that grub4dos is something that needs a fat32? and I think it cannot be used with ext3/4 partitions.

    will check out your links
