NVIDIA Geforce FX5200 and USB flash drive with persistent image
I am having trouble with my Nvidia GeForce FX5200 (agp) conflicting with my USB Flash drive but only when it contains a persistent image.
I tried KNOPPIX 6 and it boots, but when I make a persistent image, I get errors and it doesn't boot (I don't remember the exact error).
When I tried Xubuntu it will boot if I remove the persistent option from the boot commands. If I leave it in, it doesn't boot.
The error is this:
/init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr0: No Medium found
/init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr0: No Medium found
/init: line 1: can't open /dev/sr0: No Medium found
/init: line 1: can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address
Busybox v1.13.3
(initramf) mount: mounting /dev/loop1 on cow failed: Invalid Argument.
Can not mount /dev/loop1 on cow
I even tried Haiku, with similar problems.
Here's the kick. This only happens with my Nvidia card. If I use another older card, I can boot with persistence and everything.
Anyone got any ideas?
EDIT:
Here are some command outputs. Hopefully this will get me some responses:
