hello,
i am just a newbie. i learn the slitaz from a blog. i am very like it, so i just want to get one and put it on my usb . but after installing the slitaz by the install tool in live cd, i can not boot into the slitaz.
firstly, i get the error: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)".so, i found the solutions and try to add the "rootdelay=8" in the "kernel" line. luckly, the error message has disappeared. instead, the other error message showed up: "kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. try passing init= option to kernel." i don't know how to do this time because i can't find the solution throught the google.
help me, please!
(i am just a chinese student, and i am not good at english. so if there are any syntax error which make you misunderstanding me, i feel sorry)
at last, no matter can you help me to slove the problem, i will also thank you very much.
i can't install the slitaz 4.0 to my usb stick

Hello vin,
How is your usb stick formated (FAT16 or 32, EXT 2 or 3) ?
And when you say "installing the slitaz by the install tool in live cd", what do you mean exactly ?
Did you try to do a full install on your stick or LiveUSB ? What menu of TazPanel did you use ?Posted 12 years ago # -
i formatted my usb stick to ext4(i had formated it to ext3 first, but the same situation happened) .
when i boot into live cd, there is a "documention" software in the desktop. at the end of the document, there is a link "slitaz install" which links to the install tool. i can't find the slitaz installer in tazpanel.
i think i had a full installation to my stick not the live cd. this is because i can see the root directory "/" in my stick.Posted 12 years ago # -

offlineUnregisteredAre you trying to boot an installation on your pendrive?
Do you have a hard drive in the computer?If 'yes', then it is most likely the kernel line in your grub config is not correct.
Try using (1,0) & rootdelay=10
Does that help?
(It may be that you have not set the boot sequence to boot from external first in your BIOS.)Posted 12 years ago # -
Post your grub menu.lst

- Change what's in bold from :
root (hd0,0)
kernel /root/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sdb1 rootdelay=8 quiet
to
root (hd0,0)
kernel /root/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=8 quietPosted 12 years ago # -

You still have sdb1 & not sda1.my meum.lst:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sdb1 rootdelay=8 quietIt's looking on the wrong drive.
root (hd0,0) => First partition, first HDD
kernel /root/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz root=/dev/sdb1 rootdelay=8 quiet => First partition, second HDDPosted 12 years ago # -
@ vin,
hmm, may be a stupid question but what the size of your stick ?
And follow aniguenni's advice or run SliTaz from the liveCD, insert your USB stick and open a terminal as root, type fdisk -l and post the result.
