Hi Everyone:
 
My Machine:  Toshiba NB 305 (Netbook), 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, installed Fedora 16 (3.1.0-7.fc16.i686) to external USB hard disk (Toshiba 80GB).  Boatloader also installed to external HD. Two partitions, root and swap.
 
Problem:  Install went well.  On first boot (and all subsequent), received following error:
 
"Loading initial ramdisk
1. 175159 Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive
Kernel panic - not syncing: no init found
try passing init= option to kernel"
 
Remarks:  Running from the liveusb stick works well, no problems.
 
Thanks for any help.

Update:

I reinstalled F16 to the external usb HD using the default partitions.  New problem: on "loading initial ramdisk", the system goes to a black screen and then reboots.
 
BTW, GRUB is loaded onto the external HD.
 
Thanks.
