Comment 10 for bug 219192

ok I found my problem. now that I fixed the casper file I by accident left the original live cd connected in vmware while booting the custom live system from the virtual disks. Now the OS boots up AND persistence works. BUT i have to have the cd in? Why would this happen, somewhere casper is set to look for the squashfs file on the cd instead of the drive in the casper file, despite the fact that I setup grub properly and the menu.lst. Alternatively, can anyone point me to a really good live cd howto that would apply to hardy but which uses grub as a bootloader instead of syslinux?
Thanks!
