What does "fdisk -l /dev/hda" show (dash "ell", not dash one)?
I too am trying to boot off a CF card in an IDE adapters. My problems are happening much earlier. My system will not even boot. I suspect it has to do the with the format on CF card. Unfortunetly I do not have a real unix envirnoment just a simulated Red Hat 7.2 using VMWare. I am accessing my CF card under Red Hat using a SanDisk SDDR-31 USB card reader. And used syslinux 1.52 from linux. When I do "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" Disk /dev/sdb: 1 heads, 16 sectors, 980 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 2 980 7832 1 FAT12 Why is the start sector 2 and not 1 ? Could that be the problem ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
