Hi! I had the very same problem.
You must boot from MSDOS6.x. Then use syslinux with '-s' flag. I even had to use syslinux 2.00-pre6 because my CF refused to boot with other older versions of syslinux. One other thing, try to use the device as primary master. It works a LOT better. -----Original Message----- From: S Mohan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 2:48 PM To: 'Leaf' Subject: [leaf-user] Flash disk problem I'm trying to load bering on a PC ATA Flash card. I've a Adtron drive and a Sandisk 8MB card. It is getting recognised as a drive and I'm able to fdisk and format the drive. It is secondary master. I'm able to mount it as /dev/hdc1 in bering too. However, I'm not able to boot! I initially tried syslinux and it gave an error :unable to lock drive for exclusive access. I did a lock c: and then tried syslinux. Same error. I then booted up the system with a Win98 DOS floppy, did a sys c: and copied the floppy contents to the flash card. It did not boot up in DOS too. Sys did not give an error unlike syslinux. Any pointers? Is it that I'm up the wrong alley and ATA Flash disks are not bootable?
