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?
Thank you.

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.

some random guesses..
mkinitrd probably doesn't support booting off of the mmc device. or if it does, perhaps the mmc modules are missing from the initrd.

Well, I considered that, but the standard F10 kernel boots without any problems from both the USB flash disk and the SD card. It is only when I use my optimized kernel that I face problems booting. I enabled all the options that I could find in the kernel config which I thought were related to booting from USB devices but apparently I missed some.
