[nslu2-linux] Boot Problems

 

Hi, I have a Debian Slug with V5.0.4, Kernel = vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-ixp4xx. Booting from a Disk works OK, then I tried to clone that system to an USB stick, something that I have done multiple times already, but I cannot get it to work now. Ethernet light is on and after flashing the USB drive led a few times, that is it.

I copied the system to the USB via rsync and then edited FSTAB to use the correct UUID for the USB stick.

This worked for me until I did an upgrade of the Debian yesterday, that was done on the disk and it ended up by flashing the kernel (I hope).
Looking in the Wiki I see that the kernel can specify the boot disk, but that this was not done up till now, is that still the case?
Is that my problem?

I just want to be able to decide whether to boot from the disk or USB stick, only one will be plugged in, in the Disk1 connector.

I would be grateful for any ideas.
