I’m using cli-installer (have tried everything I can think of to no avail) to create a bootable thumbdrive w/a prev. remastered Jessie-vsn. of Antix. I also tried booting w/the rootdelay parameter set to 10 sec. but still keep getting THIS: Any suggestions?! The ehci_orion module isn’t even on my regular system! I tried ext4 and ext3 but neither worked either. I included a gparted screen (last attachment, I foobared the middle one and can’t delete it) of the thumbdrive and verified that everything did get installed on it.
Thanks,
Jim

looks like you are installed onto a usb stick.
I would check the /boot/grub/grub.cfg entry and the UUID that the message is telling you is missing, and then replace that UUID with the UUID of your actual boot partition, in this case the UUID of the usb stick.

If you looked at my (2nd) gparted post, it shows that the boot partition is the same as the one missing in the message – my /boot/grub/grub.cfg HAS the correct partition UUID:
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set=root 67541b43-3750-4852-bba5-d580a96c0a10
HOWEVER, the system is not SEEING it when booting, but I don’t know why – doing an ls /dev/disk/by-uuid at the initramfs prompt shows only the UUIDs for the hard drive and NOT the USB stick, hence the reason it’s complaining! I assume that some module is missing that is needed to “enumerate the USB device”, though /media/root/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf has the default “MODULES=most” set, which, I’d THINK would be capable of booting the kernel from a usb stick formated for ext2222222222?!

Will it boot other distros from the same usb port burned to a similar usb?
Is the usb being used the same type as the one booted to AntiX with? If its the same usb port, I would try the same type of usb as well.
Another thing to try is an AC powered usb port.
Just thinking aloud. They aren’t all the same.

1) Haven’t tried any other distros on it.
2) No, I made it from a remastered Antix booted up from a DVD I had made a while back.
3) Don’t understand, the USB2 port is on a laptop being powered by A/C. Haven’t had any lack of power issues w/my USB sticks since USB1 days.I have 5 laptops at the moment, and 2 of them do better with the AC powered usb hub to boot from usb. The oldest is from 2005 or 2006. The worst one is an old Dell D620, its hopeless without the powered hub.
Not to say that’s the problem, but I suggest you eliminate some of your permutations to identify the real culprit.

ehci-orion . . . Did your remaster on a different machine. modprobe is looking for the module because it was indicated that your hardware needs it.

Maybe remastered with a different kernel that doesn’t provide the proper paths for info, or the dependencies of the box you made the remaster on got sucked in somehow as well. Just a thought.dolphin_oracle
what sort of usb stick and what sort of usb port? USB3? USB2?
wildstar84
Just your basic SanDisk(tm) 32GIG USB3-capable thumbdrive and USB2 ports.
Try running the checkmd5 boot option if what you have is on a remastered flashdrive. That will check if it can read the flashdrive ok or not.
