This is the same problem i had with the S50. The problem is that the bios has configured the CS5536 for flash(board). You have to enable the flash driver in the kernel(MTD? i think) It is not a usual ide device. >Also, I can boot a Ubuntu 10.04 USB stick (syslinux basically) and pxe >with the module present, but I cannot seem to boot a USB stick with >just grub on it, if the IDE module is in place.

In the S50 only the bios is in the chip. The operating system "Linux v6" is on the flashboard. Nils. -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
