Hello everyone.

With my TS-7260 (Kernel 2.4.26) I am trying boot into Debian from USB
flash. I installed the latest 256MB Debian Sarge Image from
ftp://embeddedarm.com/images/debian256 on my 256MB USB flash drive,
and did the following as instructed in Linux for Arm on TS-72xx document:

1. Modified /etc/fstab too boot from USB
2. /usr/bin/loadUSBModules.sh
3. /usr/bin/loadUSB.sh

Then, the system reboots with this log:

$ /usr/bin/loadUSB.sh
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended
Creating extra device nodes...done.

sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
Starting NFS common utilities: statd.
Starting periodic command scheduler: cron.
Starting web server: apache-ssl failed
Press enter for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):

Seems like something is wrong with the file system.
If I press enter, I can see that the root file system is changed to
the USB flash drive. But when I type uname -r to check the kernel
version, it displays 2.4.26-ts11 which is the original kernel.

Does this mean Debian was not booted, and only the root file system
was modified?

If someone encountered similar problems before or know how to fix
this, please help me.

Thank you in advance.
