Patrick, I do believe it has IDE support in the kernal. However, I don't use it. It kinda defeats the purpose of having DiskOnChip.

Re: [Leaf-user] LRP and DOC
There are special procedures for preparing a bootable DOC. I can't seem to find my copy right now. I'll keep looking. Compact flash is probably less expensive, the prices are falling faster (check out SanDisk), much more flexible, same performance and a piece of cake to work with. Consider it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 01/25/2002 01:47:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Phillip Watts/austin/Nlynx) Subject: [Leaf-user] LRP and DOC I think I've put this out to the list already but just in case.. I have been able to successfully boot a floppy version of Dachstein (thanks again Charles) so that I am able to mount the DOC. I am not able to transfer the system to the DOC and boot from it. The Dachstein LINUXRC has the recommended DiskOnChip entries, as does the root.mount file. Here are the steps I have take to attempt to transfer the system to DOC. - run syslinux against the C: drive from DOS - copy all floppy files to C: (the DiskOnChip). - edit the syslinux.cfg to boot from /dev/fla1 - run 'rdev c:linux. 100 1' to change the kernal (floppy boot indicates that 'fla' is found at major 100) - boot the PC without floppy. This results in an immediate 'boot fail' message. Note that I have tried minor:1 and minor:0 both with same result. Could there be a problem with the boot sector information? Does 'syslinux' work properly on D.O.C.?
