Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 64 512000 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 64 19458 155777024 8e Linux LVM
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 2 16064+ 6 FAT16
/dev/sdb2 * 3 5 24097+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3 6 9728 78099997+ 83 Linux
Hmmm, a bit "messy" if I may say...
Nonetheless, it seems (from what I can see here) that ./dev/sdb2 is bootable...this should be set in the grub on the stick. By the way, I'm somewhat allergic to the fat16 entry...this is not the best setting you could have...but, if there is data on the disk, you're stuck with that...
An example of a better setup would be (as a suggestion)
Quote:
/dev/sdb1 * s e nnn 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 s e nnn 82 Linux/swap
/dev/sdb3 s e nnn 83 Linux
Where s is start, e is end and nnn is the amount of blocks. Keep all the system types on Linux, if possible. Unless the stick is to be accessible by a (very-very) old win95 PC...
The grub needs IMHO to find ./dev/sdb2 as boot partition...this needs to ne an entry in the grub on the stick. And, of course, grub needs to be in the partition with the MBR...but, you know this. On the down side...I suspect the MBR to be in the fat16 partition, in that case...the boat is sunk...you may have to repartition the stick...
Grtz!
