Ok, from this - probably /dev/hdX is right. Anyway, for Soekris nt5501 i then recommend turning on CS5536 companion chip support, for now your config shows "# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CS5536 is not set". At least this gives CF reading/writing performance boost. Don't forget then to turn off CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC, as this is a generic driver for most IDE chipsets. >> LILO config: > You imply that putting root= in the image section and in the 'append=' > section are equivalent; Yes.

From kernel config this looks like /dev/hda1 is still right. Which filesystem is used on CF? ext3? Your kernel config shows that only ext3 and fat/ntfs filesystem support are included. -- =<Alvar>= _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
