It's GRUB on the CF card.

Remove it. (Or try if it works first) Try to download a gPXE Linux kernel from http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-0.9.9/contrib/rom-o-matic/ and put it on the CF card, create a entry in GRUB's menu.lst for it (just like the NetBootRom entry), and try to boot. Should work or give you some meaningful error message. > > title Fedora Core (2.6.12-1.1398_FC4) > root (hd0,0) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb > quiet > initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.img This is useless too, remove. > > > ...which seems to be about the only file on the memory card that looks > like it has some relevant settings. > > Can anyone offer any help?
