USB system with modified kernel and minimal software
Justin and Ben, thanks for your comments!

When compared with the log of some newer runs (see below), it looks like the
squashfs-modules-2.6.18-5-486 and unionfs-modules-2.6.18-5-486 were not
included due to --linux-packages "none" during the lh_config.
New runs:
After doing the following in an empty directory, I get a binary.img file.
lh_config -d etch -b usb-hdd
lh_build 2>&1 | tee log
In order to boot the from the USB device I have to do this:
dd if=binary.img of=/dev/sda
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mv /mnt/i* /mnt/initrd.img
mv /mnt/v* /mnt/vmlinuz
vi /mnt/*cfg (edit names to initrd.img and vmlinuz)
umount /mnt
syslinux -f /dev/sda1
Without all this, the system complaints:
Could not find kernel image: /vmlinuz.-26
At one run, I included --bootloader grub, but that didn't even give me the
grub promt.
My last run from an empty directory was like this:
lh_config -d etch -b usb-hdd
cp /usr/src/linux-image-2.6.20.19-rt_1_i386.deb config/chroot_local-packages
lh_build 2>&1 | tee log
The standard kernel boots ok after I made the above corrections. However the
modified kernel stoppes during the booting like this:
...
sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
loop: loaded (max 8 devices)
BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-4) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs)
Does anyone have any suggestion what to do from here?
Best regards,
Ren?
