i've had this same problem... no matter what kernel i use, i would get a kernel panic. of course, only when using an external usb-cdrom drive. it would boot off of an external usb-hdd. i don't know what's wrong either. hope someone else gives it a try to fix. Dennis On 7/23/06, Oleksiy wrote:

I'm trying to install Crux on an IBM Thinkpad. This notebook has a USB CDROM and no floppy drive. The Crux CD-ROM boots, but the kernel apparently doesn't support USB and therefore can't see the CDROM drive afterwards. As far as i know, CRUX boot cd supports USB. I successfully use my packages from USN hdd during installation.
Maybe you should try other device names, like /dev/sda or so. Can't say a bit more since I haven't seen USB cdroms so far :)
HTH.
