OK, we got very clear answer: do not install on removable drives. Simple, isn't it?

I figured out something, that fallback worked for me and I found the problem is a 'Kernel Panic'

see the errors below

 

switchroot : mount failed: No such file or directory

Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill Init!

 

I think boot from external drive is not supported. I there any solution for this like loading a driver or something...

 

Thanks George Shuklin for your help, and much appreciated...

Thanks for your quick response.

I believe I haven't made my point clear.

 

* I am not getting a menu at boot time (no choices)

* what ever I typed there on the prompt, it says kernel not found or invalid kernel.

 

I am pretty confused how to activate the safe option.

 

Also, I tried to load the kernel by typing the following,

 

/boot/xen.gz

 

and, it shows me an error like 'Kernel Corrupted"

 

I also started believing external drive may not be supported.

Yes, and here you shall print noted below commands.

Do you expect nice menu with helpers? Use hyper-v and be microsoft's slave.

I didn't get a boot menu either. I got a boot prompt (CLI) with the test "Boot:". I tried 'help', 'verbose' and lot more, but unfortunately nothing worked. Could you please explain a bit how to turn on the verbose mode or safe mode turn on?

 

Thanks

try to use fallback or safe option in boot menu (it shown as dark blue on black before boot) to see what happens.

My guess: using an external drive is simply not supported.

Hi,

 

I recently downloaded XCP 1.0.0 and installed it in one of my external hard drives. Now, when I tried to load the installed XCP (Immediately after installation), it's not loading. The system is booted up to the "Boot:" prompt and loads to a white show bear (with a hap and a stick) picture and hangs my system. Caps lock key and the hard disk light is flashing.

 

Please help me to solve the problem.

 

Thanks

Ramesh
