How does the partition table of the USBmemorystick look?
Here is what the partition table on the USB stick looks like:
MONSTERMASH:~# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 8019 MB, 8019509248 bytes
64 heads, 44 sectors/track, 5562 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2816 * 512 = 1441792 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000d6bec
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 110 154623+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 110 1530 1999616 83 Linux
Can you mount the /dev/sdX2? I say sdX because the testcomputer may have
a /dev/sda (and a /dev/sdb ( and /dev/sdc)) for itself?
Yes, I can mount the sda2 partition fine, when I do it manually. Also, this is the only sdX device in the box, the HD's are showing up as hdX devices.
MONSTERMASH:~# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
MONSTERMASH:~# ls /mnt
live-sn.cpio.gz lost+found
When in the live system, what shows `mount`?
MONSTERMASH:~# mount
aufs on / type aufs (rw)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda1 on /live/image type vfat (ro,noatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,allow_utime=177777,codepage=cp437,iocharset=utf8)
tmpfs on /live/cow type tmpfs (rw,noatime,mode=755)
tmpfs on /live type tmpfs (rw)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
When in the live system, what is the output of `cat /proc/cmdline`?
MONSTERMASH:~# cat /proc/cmdline
initrd=/live/initrd1.img boot=live noautologin nouser persistent=nofiles quickreboot persistent-path=/dev/sda2 username=romeo hostname=MONSTERMASH union=aufs BOOT_IMAGE=/live/vmlinuz1
I'll be happy to provide any other info that may be useful.
