Johan! The last we heard from you, you couldn't drive yet but you were deploying a wireless data-logging setup. How'd that go?

I still don't understand why you don't get it working in a running Dachstein system first as Charles suggested. His method is the standard way to get hard-drives, cdroms, whatever non-standard boot device to be accessible. It works very easily. Have you proven that you can even do this with the pcmcia setup? Also the /dev/hdk can't be good unless you forced it to choose k. What happened to all the other letters? > end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy), sector 0 This floppy error looks like you forgot to mention somwhere that you no longer refering to /dev/fd0, but now /dev/hdk. > > Questions > --------- > > How do I get past the end_request errors being produced for the > flash, which seems to be looking for a (nonexistant) floppy?

You want to get into gory device driver details? Prolly not. If you had an irq conflict, the system would lock up. Concentrate on accessing the device from a running system and replicate those modules and configuration that makes it run in the boot modules directory and copy the whole darn thing to the flash device.
