I am experiencing the same problem on my Dell Inspiron 600m with MDK 10C. When shutting down it hangs on the USB modules. I have tried unplugging all USB devices, and still no luck. Is this a bug?

It is happening because it cannot find the root. I guess I may need to just give up and install the root to my internal harddrive long enough to compile a kernel with usb-storage in it (as well as the other usb modules.) With the support than integrated into the kernel it should theoretically then work.

No, to the USB drive...the point I'm trying to make is that it can see the /boot directory on the USB drive. (hd0,4) is the USB drive, and therefore I am able to find the kernel, the modules, and the init image. I will trying the module probeall etc etc command, but I think it may be incorrect

I copied the contents of the /modules directory from the Rescue CD where I am able to load the usb-storage module. I then placed a line 'module=/boot/modules.cz', and it loaded. How do I load the usb-storage module from this point?

GRUB entry

(hd0 is mapped to the sd0 USB drive)

kernel=(hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 (sda5 is where MDK 9.2 is installed)

pause

module=/boot/modules.cz

??????

pause

initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd.img

pause

(fd0) /module files root=/dev/fd0

module probeall scsi_hostadapter usb-storage && usb-storage usb-uhci

pause

It appears this is all I'm missing in the Grub statement. Is it possible to burn a CD in WIN XP that will allow me to pass these by way of Grub, and where do I get these modules? How would I burn the CD?

I don't have a floppy, how can I load the usb-storage module without one?? I'm completely lost

I installed Mandrake 9.2 to my USB2 hard disk just fine on my Dell Inspiron 600m. When I boot to the USB device at bootup it is unable to find the installation and gives me a kernel panic. Lilo is installed on the USB disk, how do I get it to actually boot Mandrake? Be descriptive, I am still a relative N00B. Thanks in advance
