Katana 2.0 + Kali Live USB

[indeo]

I'm trying to get Kali to boot from my Katana 2.0 USB, like how BackTrack 5 r3 is working. Kali boots great off regular Live USB straight to the GUI but my Katana Kali sits at "localhost.localdomain login" with root/toor giving me Login incorrect
I extracted the i386 Gnome ISO contents to a /kali directory on my Katana USB and pointed the live menu appropriately:

/boot/menus/kali.cfg

menu color border	* #00000000 #00000000 none
menu color sel		* #ffffffff #76a1d0ff *

# The command line must be at least one line from the bottom.

What am I missing?

Use the following for your Katana 2.0 Kali menu:

/boot/menus/kali.cfg

Hi,
You only need to copy the "live" CD-ROM folder into your USB volume. If you rename this folder as "kali", then you must add the option live-media-path=/kali in your boot options.
This has worked for me, I have a multi boot USB key with grub4dos boot manager.

Thanks Chris. I've gotten it working using live-media-path, and followed up with a post about it a couple days ago, but that post doesn't seem to have made it past moderation
