Hello, I just bought 4x 5501 systems and have been struggling with them most of today. There are two issues I'm having, both with the CF side of things.
First, it seems that on a soft reboot (operating system reboot, or the BIOS reboot command) my CF card disappears from the list of available devices. This obviously is a showstopper for me since I need to be able to reboot remotely and have the system come back up and running. Second, I am attempting to load Debian 5.0 on these systems, and have created a working PXE install. It gets all the way through the install, and after getting around the problem above, grub starts, but always errors out with "error 25". I've searched for this on the 'net and found that this error indicates grub can't find the disk. I've mounted the CF in another system and everything looks kosher. I've tried: Changing FLASH=Primary to FLASH=Secondary Changing boot device Changing hd0 and hda in menu.lst and other various places and reinstalling grub Installing grub on (hd0,0) Nothing seems to work. I'm beginning to think that this CF card is just not compatible with the hardware, which is a shame, since it's an industrial grade CF that has 10x the life of a standard CF that I bought specifically for using with these systems. Any thoughts?
