 They are backorder, so chances are your order will not be processed before
 the deadline. Ergo you'll pay the full price.

Nope, what counts is the purchase date, not when this
thing actual ships.

 putting it back in my 100ct brings up the bootloader
 (grub or lilo), but then fails to boot up the os 
 successfully.

i tried using ez-drive, but that didn't make a difference.
but as it turns out, the default laptop kernel that ships 
with redhat 7.2 was the culprit (2.4.7?). trying a more
recent kernel brought at least kernel up (it still hangs
mounting the root partition, but i'm optimistic that a
recompile with different parameters can solve that).

cheers,

[LIB] 100ct, big hd, boot problem...

hiho,

i recently decided to equip my 100ct with a 20gb
harddrive from toshiba (MK-2018GAS), but after many
hours of experimentation and reading through
mailing list archives, i'm unable to successfully
boot from it.

having no pcmcia floppy or cdrom, i installed a dual
boot system (rh linux/windows xp) via my desktop system.

putting it back in my 100ct brings up the bootloader
(grub or lilo), but then fails to boot up the os 
successfully.

booting linux just triggers a soft/reset, while 
windows xp is more explicit in complaining that
there might have been a change in the c/h/s
settings (which is true).

i tried different partition layouts, boot parameters
and upgraded my 100ct bios to the most recent one,
but nothing helped.

do i need to install from floppy or cdrom directly,
or is there a way i can setup this system from my
desktop and then plug it into my 100ct?

cheers,
firenza
