I bought an IDE based CF adaptor that I should have in the next 2~3 days. Its small and has the laptop style interface (44 pin) and status lights. I like blinky lights :-) http://www.acscontrol.com/Index_ACS.asp?Page=/Pages/Products/CompactFlash/SFF_IDE_To_CF_Adapter.htm - Original Message ---

Cool, thank you for the test. I think I will fall back and go with the ide-->cf adaptor. That will take a few days to come in. After that I will be looking to get linuxbios installed on my EPIA-MII. - Original Message - From: "Richard Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Adam Sulmicki" <[EMAIL

I'm not a lazy person, but very active for an elderly 65er. However I have so many unfinished tasks, which demand my constant attention. Like castrating and branding cockatoos, and tickling crocs to death to save ammunition. Linux is just has to remain one of those things, of which, I must forg

i guess you can do it either way a) pcmcia/ide support in kernel and use that (big!) kernel to boot from that device b) use ide adapater and smaller kernel with ide support only. I don't think in-kernel will be enough. pcmica services depend on the card manager deamon to de

If I can boot off the onboard CF device what device does it come up as? still hde? yes, ide. Here is the problem I am running into: On the stock bios I can not boot off the CF, so I boot off a hard disk. Well, when I add linuxbios, the system will be asking for data before the hard disk will be rea
