I am trying to boot my external USB HDD, but I tried Plop Boot Manager and PlopKexec and both seem to detect the device but not find the partitions?
The error message is "No HD", (both EHCI and UHCI)
When I put the HDD inside the laptop instead of in the USB case I can still use it.
I can read all the data on the USB HDD with debian (I didn't try mounting the device with the Plop live, should I do that?)
Thanks for writing by the way. Your work is a positive contribution to the world.
Numbers 1 and 3 are linux root partitions:
Model: Initio ST9500420AS (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
3 38.2GB 96.4GB 58.2GB extended lba
5 53.2GB 96.4GB 43.2GB logical ext4
1 96.4GB 182GB 85.9GB primary ext4 boot
2 182GB 187GB 4293MB primary linux-swap(v1)
4 187GB 500GB 314GB primary ext4
I assume, its a standard hard disk installation and not a live installation on your USB hard disk.
Plop Boot Manager: The problem is, that your computer seems to use an internal USB hub, witch is not supported by the 5.x release.
Plopkexec: I assume, you use grub2 as boot manager on the USB drive. grub2 config files are not well supported by plopkexec. You should create a custom plopkexec.cfg file with kernel and initrd configuration in syslinux format.

Great! Fixed.
I connected to a USB port that was not on a hub and it worked! (using Plop boot manager).
Thanks Elmar!
