i had some time to retry, and found that was (at first) a
mbr/partition_id problem, had some bsd on that flash, and i did not
recreate the partition_id (o option in fdisk), now he boot, but hangs
with: "can't open /var/lib/lrpkg/root.dev.own, kernel panic"
he do that after loading the packages specified in syslinux.cfg, also i
get "unresolved symbol" last ones are ide-detect.o, isofs.o
also at loading the syslinux.cfg modules he say "linuxrc: installing ...
root: root(nf!) ....", the "nf" means "not found"?
also i don't understand the logic in having syslinux.cfg and leaf.cfg, i
presume that leaf.cfg loads after the "root remount".
i do use the initrd-ide-cd... lrp, i have hdc1 in syslinux and leaf
any ideea, other than follow the scripts/lrps and see where it gets stuck?
a doc of how its organized those packages would be usefful, detailed i
mean, is the "developer" doc?
and in the end i use Bering-uClibc 2.3.3..beta (or something)
looks nice, but its just me that have always problems :))

I use Bering 1.0 stable on that machine.
There are some issues: read carefully the manual that explains how to
boot from the ide (it is on the second IDE iface but at boot time it is
viewed as the first) This affects ALL booting from IDE disks/flash on
that machine: luckily this may be the default setting.
On syslinux.cfg you must address as:
boot=/dev/hdc1:msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hdc1
Remember that you need ide modules into initd.lrp
(to make this you must uncompress initrd.lrp then mount as loop the
uncompressed image ancd then put ide-mod.o ide-disk.o ide-probe-mod.o
into the directory <mountpoint>/boot/lib/modules and their names into
the file <mountpoint>/boot/etc/modules then umount and recompress)
This for bering 1.0-stable: it is so stable that I'm not planning to use
a newer one for the moment.
Hope this can help

with a standard ide drive, and/or put another linux on it debian/rh as i

any help on why the flash don't boot, or at least how to check more
deeplly, would be nice

Hello Cirian, which lex system do you have? Sorry it didn’t work out. I
must admit, getting leaf to boot of an ide device was a pain for me.
Honestly, it took several days, lots of hours. Of course, once you
figure it out, it is much too easy. -cpu
