Hi All,
I am trying to install FC21 directly to flash drive.
So far, I can get the flash drive to boot into both my computers if I use LVM file system. But, LVM is a pain in the neck to copy files to and from. So, I switched to normal partition.
Problem: now the thing will only boot into the computer it was created on. The other one give me
ERROR: dracut-initqueue[303] ln failed to create symbolic link /dev/resume already exists (I find no such file)
/dev/sdc2 does not exist (which is my swap)
Starting Dracut emergency shell
I have no idea what is going wrong. Google is not helping either

Hi All,
I think IO know where the error is coming from: This is from my USB boot flash drive's grub.cfg:
linux16 /vmlinuz-3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64 root=/dev/sdc2 ro rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8
How do I get it to point to whatever /dev/sdX2 the stick is actually mounted on, instead of hard coding it to sdc2?
Many thanks, -T

Can /dev/sdc2 be changed ot the partition's UUID?

I went ahead and got the UUID from the rescue section, verified is with ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid, and changed root=/dev/sdc2 to root=UUID=(UUID from the rescue section)
And guess what stinker is now working!
