VirtualBox Install to USB Flash Drive

Hello Bitnami!

I am a newbie when it comes to virtual appliances, bitnami, and linux.

Is it possible to download VirtualBox and Bitnami-Drupal to an USB flashdrive?

If so, is a 4gb usb flashdrive o.k.?

I just installed VirtualBox 3.2.0 Beta 1 to a 4GB USB Flashdrive.

Now I just need to install Bitnami-Drupal.

Can anyone provide me with a step-by-step screenshot tutorial? I have an XP with 512MB Ram. All of the tutorials I’ve come across are for Desktops and not USB Flashdrives and most are not up to date.

Suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated!

If you can start the VirtualBox application you can only have to choose the bitnami drupal vmdk file as a new hard disk.

O.K., I figured out how to install Bitnami-Drupal.

Now, I get the following:

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:34449b167e0
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
-Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
-Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/6699b182-4250-468b-b001-c34449b167e0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs)

Can anyone help me correct this? I have spent close to 6 hours trying to figure this out.

Thank you!

Sorry not sure what could be the problem.

Hi

Take a look this Ubuntu bug https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/k… It seems that it is necessary to increase the “rootdelay” option to boot the kernel properly. Try the following:

Start the machine and press ‘Esc’ to start the grub menu. Then type ‘e’ to edit the kernel entry and add the “rootdelay=30” option:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=254139e0-a67c-4d72-b7c1-442b616f6dc9 ro quiet rootdelay=30 splash

Save the changes and boot the machine. To make this change permanent you should edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

I hope it helps.
