At a guess, an init problem eg it "exited" (which it shouldn't). Perhaps /sbin/init doesn't exist... specify "init=/bin/sh" on the kernel command line to drop to a shell. But don't expect a usb keyboard to automatically work though. Can't see the screenshot btw.

sorry but i don't understand very well...i have to go on configuration menu>Kernel parameter and add "init=/bin/sh"....???

or init=/path/debug_script_to_run.sh

I'm having the same issue. From what understand a problem happens when root directory gets changed to /newroot. It seems that no /bin or /sbin directory exists there. Could it be because I have other files on that USB drive?

As for PS/2-> USB adapter for keyboard, yes it does work.

There need to be Linux installed on the USB memory stick. Be sure that you specify the correct partition (see http://sourceforge.net/project/shownote ... _id=610717).

Thanks. I figured out that I was using the wrong initrd. I'm trying to install blackrhino on HDD using the gude: http://kernelloader.sourceforge.net/tut ... linux.html

Right now I'm stuck at the step 8 where I am to create disc partitions: fdisk reports that partitions are created, but only file /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc is present, /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 and
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 are missing. As the result mkswap and mke2fs complain about partitions having size of zero. Is that a common issue?

The HDD is Maxtor 20 Gb, and console is SCPH 39001 (Ver 7)

=======================
EDIT: fixed by installing a desktop distribution on the drive
