Install SliTaz 4.0-RC1 on usb flash disk (missing kernel usb module)

Hello

the new cooking slitaz look very well, but I would like install it on my usb flash disk. I know there is  posible to use liveUSB, but I prefer have full install with root on disk. That mean, I try to instal slitaz on usb with slitazpanel installer, after I give there grub2, setting it, reboot system and look if it will be boot properly. So it started boot but it see the kernel panic with no root disk. There was choice for sda partition only, which is my main hard disc. There is missing sdb with usb! It mean that probably in the slitaz kernel missing module for usb boot. Is there any way how to compile new kernel, I am not sure where I can get source of slitaz kernel and which module I would need to add for support it.

So is here any way how to do it? Thanks for help :-) Samec, and I am so sory for my english, I still learn it.

Try adding rootdelay=8

menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.37-slitaz" {

    insmod ext2

    set root=(hd0,1)

    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 8781d087-63c4-440d-b97d-116c64833853

    linux    /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37-slitaz rootdelay=8 root=/dev/sda1

}

Hi,

I could not boot rootfs1-3, but rootfs4.gz worked. The first gave kernel panic.

With 4 I could net setup one working Xserver, no module was loaded according to tazhw detect-pci.
