Hello,
after installation Grub is stop working with Error 17 (and 18 if I playing with ext3). I please for help.
I installed"antiX M11 base 686" from USB flash drive (UNetbootin) to a second USB flash drive, because I have no CD-ROM device available and no hard drive. I installed antiX on a USB flash drive with two primary and one extended partition. The first primary partition contains a FAT32 and the second primary partition contains an ext4. The third extended partition contains Linux swap partition. The Futro A230 has a built-in compact flash drive and I presume that is working as CD-ROM device.

Post /boot/grub/menu.lst that is on pendrive. Also a readout. Run the live pendrive to get the info.
I have a feeling that you need to put (hd0,0) on the pendrive grub menu and it probably says something like (hd0,1) or (hd0,2) instead. Refer to my problems I had over here.

Your thread sounds kinda like the same problem I had.I power up again after removing USB Drive. I make sure I hit escape to bring up my boot menu again in bios. I select my 8 gig flash drive as first boot. Every time I wish to boot up AntiX as a dual boot with Xandros, I will have to use escape button to select external 8 gig flash drive in the boot order to boot up AntiX. If I don't, it will just default to booting up Xandros. I am Welcomed with the AntiX Grub Screen. It is quite attractive. I select the top Menu item. AntiX boots. I get a grub error 15. I think in my unprofessional opinion that with 2 internal drives,and one 2 gig external USB,and 1 external 8 gig SDHC Flash card. That grub menu.lst got confused as to which drive was the boot drive for Antix. I have heard from a friend this happens with a Fedora 11 install to a external flash drive also.
I press any key to continue. Next I press the"e" key to get me to edit the grub entry for booting root. I press e again on the next page. I change the root entry (hd2,0) to (hd0,0), I press enter. Then I press the letter"b" so I can boot. Antix 8.2 Final is now booting up. I press the space bar again to continue with the booting process.

/boot/grub/menu.lst on my external 16 gig SD flash drive on my M&A Companion Netbook which is pretty much a toughbook version of a eeepc
This boots OK off of external SD flash drive.
