Punky:
I finally got it booting by chopping the CF so the MPD 0.9.1 partition
was only 4GB (and I set the partition as having the boot flag) and then
I reinstalled Voyage MPD from the tar file.
I'm not sure if Linux needs the old style boot flag but my Fedora boot
partition had it so I put it on. I guess the Alix 2d2 CF card can't
boot from partitions bigger than a certain size? The remaining 12GB on
the card (/dev/sdc2) is unallocated.

Hi Mark,
I have a Voyage system serving as NAS running on an ATOM PC with 320GB HDD.
FYI. The HDD is using GPT table (use gparted) and the filesystem is ext3.

GRUB Loading stage1.5
GRUB loading, please wait....
Internal error: the second sector of stage 2 is unknown.
this is with the CF card partitioned as two 8GB ext2 primary partitions.
This is a card that was working fine with Voyage MPD 0.8.5.
The hardware is Alix 2d2, this error shows little help on google.

A long time back (8/26/2012 post) I had a 16GB CF card with Voyage MPD
0.8.5 on it and found it could not boot properly if I partitioned it as
one big 16GB partition. I tried cutting it to two 8GB ext2 partitions
and that worked fine with Voyage MPD 0.8.5 as the first 8GB partition.
I've now tried to upgrade to Voyage MPD 0.9.1 and I had forgotten thing
about partitioning it to the two partitions and I used the install
script to just overwrite the card and make it one 16GB partition.
I tried to boot and it failed but I can't seem to find my USB / Serial
dongle so I can't check the terminal for the grub error 18 I got before.
So does the new Voyage MPD still have a problem with the large CF
partitions or is this maybe a ext2 limitation? I was thinking with
the newer kernel it would fix that but maybe it's because we use the old
ext2? I checked into the limits on ext2 and it should be fine with
a 16GB partition. I did the mkfs.ext2 using the mkfs that comes with
Fedora 19 so that's a very new mkfs command.
