Lonnie,
Thanks again for the very quick reply - I believe I have tracked down
the issue. The older CF card I was using does not support DMA mode. By
pointing me in the correct direction, I was able to see DMA issues on startup.
Switching to another CF Card SanDisk 4G - UDMA/66 was supported and the system
booted fine.
This post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1396670 gave me the idea
that changing the .cfg to libata.dma=0 my have also worked by putting the
controller in PIO mode. If I ever rip apart the other IDS I have I'll try
that also. But for now a more modern CF card is working fine! Thanks again
for your efforts.
Rodney
