Bit of a problem booting from USB

[mebe]

Hey,

I'm having bit of a problem with my setup. For some reason my motherboard and SCSI-RAID card don't want to co-operate properly, so I can't boot directly from the array. Instead, I installed the boot partition and GRUB on a USB stick. Everything is otherwise perfect, but on boot the system tries to run checkfs on /dev/sda1 (which would be the boot partition) before usbfs is initialized - which means it'll complain and I have to press CTRL-D everytime I boot!

I moved the USB initialization stuff from localmount to a new init script (and added that script to the boot runlevel). Then, I tried making it "before checkfs", making checkfs "after it" and making it provide a virtual dependency which checkfs then requires. None of these helped, but still checkfs is run before usbfs is initialized, causing the error message to pop up.

Any tips?

This is how it worked for me.
