i have here a usb flash drive with Xubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy installed on it, i'm not sure either via unetbootin or wubi. i want to boot into it, from this here thinkpad that has no usb bios support. can anyone share with me a suitable incantation that can be included in the grub.conf on my hd to boot this little beast?. either syslinux.cfg or isolinux/isolinux.cfg (both pasted below) probably contain suitable clues, but i might need a bit more magic..? tia, gregwm *isolinux/isolinux.cfg*: DEFAULT /casper/vmlinuz GFXBOOT bootlogo APPEND file=/cdrom/preseed/xubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash -- LABEL live menu label ^Try Xubuntu without any change to your computer kernel /casper/vmlinuz append file=/cdrom/preseed/xubuntu.seed boot=casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash -- LABEL live-install menu label ^Install Xubuntu kernel /casper/vmlinuz append file=/cdrom/preseed/xubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash -- LABEL check menu label ^Check CD for defects kernel /casper/vmlinuz append boot=casper integrity-check initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash -- LABEL memtest menu label Test ^memory kernel /install/mt86plus append - LABEL hd menu label ^Boot from first hard disk localboot 0x80 append - DISPLAY isolinux.txt TIMEOUT 300 PROMPT 1 F1 f1.txt F2 f2.txt F3 f3.txt F4 f4.txt F5 f5.txt F6 f6.txt F7 f7.txt F8 f8.txt F9 f9.txt F0 f10.txt *syslinux.cfg*: default vesamenu.c32 prompt 0 menu title UNetbootin timeout 100 label unetbootindefault menu label Default kernel /ubnkern append initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/xubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- label ubnentry0 menu label ^Try Xubuntu without any change to your computer kernel /casper/vmlinuz append initrd=/casper/initrd.gz file=/cdrom/preseed/xubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- label ubnentry1 menu label ^Install Xubuntu kernel /casper/vmlinuz append initrd=/casper/initrd.gz file=/cdrom/preseed/xubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity quiet splash -- label ubnentry2 menu label ^Check CD for defects kernel /casper/vmlinuz append initrd=/casper/initrd.gz boot=casper integrity-check quiet splash -- label ubnentry3 menu label Test ^memory kernel /install/mt86plus append initrd=/ubninit - label ubnentry4 menu label ^Boot from first hard disk kernel /ubnkern append initrd=/ubninit - label ubnentry5 menu label oem=OEM install (for manufacturers) kernel /ubnkern append initrd=/ubninit oem=oem-config/enable=true -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
