(SOLVED) kernel crash on flash drive

[Yankee]

Hi,

I'm getting an "*ERROR* panic occurred" message on one of my flash drives.

I'm using the 33.7 kernel so that shouldn't be a problem.   I restored this
flash drive's LXDE program to sda and changed the label, uuid, fstab, and menu.lst
on sda so no conflicts would occur and boot would be OK and it is on sda.

Now this flash drive will not boot.   Some conflict with sda is all I can guess.
It normally boots with <esc> and uses (hd0,0) then for grub, and boots fine.
It's the same program as the one I put on sda.   Don't know what could be
stopping it from booting all of a sudden.  My other USB's are booting fine.

Any ideas.

THX.

edit: after posting I looked and saw I hadn't changed the uuid on sda.  Once I did
the flash drive was able to boot.   Strange that sda would boot but not sdb with
the same uuid, and both devices connected.

Hello,

did you try to fsck the flash partition  ?

What message(s) did you see immediately before the "panic error" ?  (try to boot using splash=verbose)

Hi AS,

It said "Call tracing" and read a few more lines and stopped.   It was late last night and apparently
I didn't change the uuid on sda as I thought.  I just did and both sdb and sda are booting fine.  The
uuid was the problem.   It can stop mounting and in this case can stop booting I found out if two
drives have identical numbers from restoring the same info onto them.   But I've got my favorite program
on sda now with this problem, the only problem, in the restoration.

Thanks for the response.

If it can help, the command blkid lists all UUID of all partitions.
