|
Hi,
I want to boot my Gentoo from an external USB drive. However, it seems it takes some longer time before the kernel found this device. So I want to add a wait time when booting.
I am using genkernel to build my kernel and initramfs. I think there should be a place I can add a wait time, or a customize script in the initramfs. Any idea?
Thanks,
David

See if adding
rootdelay=10
in your boot commandline will help. This should make the kernel/initramfs wait 10 seconds for things to settle before finding the root filesystem.
