your losing me
exactly what appears at boot?
a timer?

type in "linux0"
without the quotes
at the bootline, before it boots
meaning set the timeout back to 5 or 10
which would be 50 or 100

I don't understand what your saying. What I can say is that the blue boot menu appears. Then sometimes it only gets to 1 and then freezes, or if I press enter then choose an option it freezes, how do I stop this is my question

I don't think it's freezing
it may be booting

does the little light start blinking in the usb
when you think it's freezing at boot?

It blinks a green light,yes. But does the 0 in Linux0 mean anything like the timeout is 0?

nah, it's just aname dude
I named mine "blue" and for the initrd.gz
I named it "waves"

it' don't matter relally, errr..

seriously

does the lights keep blinking and it loads up or what?
give it like 2 min from boot
and watch and see how much blinking is going on

It worked, but I get a error:
"WARNING:Cannot find root file system"

that's bad
i need you post or somehow enter into this post your syslinux.cfg for the 1st entry
linux0

?

it should look similar to this

label linux0
menu label Boot
kernel /syslinux/vmlinuz0
append initrd=/syslinux/initrd0.img root=UUID=8836-09F7 rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=UUID=8836-09F7 quiet rhgb

Let me find it

I don't exactly know what you mean by the "First Entry" since the lines you put aren't what I'd consider the "first entry".So,I'll paste the whole thing.

Here it is:

I forgot to put the syslinuxes again but look at line of numbers at UUID after append;it's different then what you posted?

Create symlink /dev/root and the exit this shell to continue the boot sequence

That's the error I got
