Hello,
I am trying to install SL6 from my USB drive, and I have tried the DVD
install, Live CD, Live miniCD and Live DVD images.
I "installed" the images onto the USB drive via Universal USB
Installer 1.8.1.4 (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/), and LinuxLive USB
Creator (http://www.linuxliveusb.com/).
It has worked for other OSes' live CDs, but when I try it with SL6, I
consistently get the following error:

"No root device found

Boot has failed, sleeping forever"

Any idea what it means, and what I can do to successfully install SL6
via USB drive? Thanks.
