Dear,
The usb stick is formated has ext2 and a boot flag is added.

usb information :
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdg1   *           1         122      979933+  83  Linux

blkid
/dev/sdg1: UUID="87b6c945-ead3-4ca0-8c44-758d326921f1" TYPE="ext2"

i'm using fai-cd has these commands

mounted usb stick
# mount -t ext2 /dev/sdg1 /mnt

#fai-cd -m /home/mirror -n -u /mnt

fai send success after operation

sent 711578750 bytes  received 212676 bytes  1590595.37 bytes/sec
total size is 710838442  speedup is 1.00
Root partition is  (hd2,0), device is: (hd2)
Installing grub.
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.

But no computer want to boot on this stick, i have tried 3 computers, 
with bios changed to boot on usb and none want to boot.

Whats wrong ?

best regards
