Re: SmartStart and Firmware on one USB-Stick
Thank you for your answer.
But with the HP USB Key Utility for Windows I did only manage to have either SmartStart or the Firmware-Content on the stick. The goal is to have both utilities on one USB stick.
Regards,
Tanja

There was never a need for me to try this, sorry. I just have 2 sticks ;-))
Hope this helps!

Re: SmartStart and Firmware on one USB-Stick
make your usb stick bootable with the grub4dos grub installer, which is open source.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=104188&package_id=215976&release_id=474675
you should then have 2 files: grldr and menu.lst
and a directory named Grub on your usb pendrive
if the menu.lst is not in the root, copy it from the grub directory.
create a second primary partition on your usb pendrive. i used QtParted.
copy the whole SmartStart-CD to the first partition
copy the whole Firmware Update-CD to the second partition.
--> you only see the 2 partitions under linux!
now you have to configure the menu.lst file as follows:
timeout 20
title HP SmartStart
find --set-root /grldr
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=111088 initrd=/initrd.img init=/bin/init media=usb rw loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off
initrd /initrd.img
title Firmware Maintenance
root (hd0,1)
kernel /system/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=146592 initrd=/system/initrd.img init=/bin/init media=usb rw loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off splash=silent showopts
initrd /system/initrd.img
have fun with SmartStart and Firmware Update on one USB flash drive :-)

Re: SmartStart and Firmware on one USB-Stick
I was looking into having the kernel reference a sub directory of this such as \fw810 etc. but my linux skills are basic.
