Hi everyone, I'm building a custom kernel optimized for the Eee
PC netbook. The kernel works without problems when installed on the main SSD but when I
tried installing it on a USB flash disk, or SD card, and booted, I got the following
error:
Unable to access resume device (UUID=<UUID>)
mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: No such file or directory
I'm assuming there are some packages necessary to boot from USB devices that need to
be included in the kernel config which I didn't include. Can anyone give me an idea
what those packages might be?
Isn't this problems with mkinitrd?

There's not much point using journalled file systems on SSD btw - you
should use ext2 to save your drive some unnecessary writes. Turn off
swap too if you have it enabled.
