Hi again!
Another point from http://www.coreboot.org/VIA_EPIA-MII
is the need to recreate the initrd.
When I install the system with Ubuntu's 2.6.24-22-generic kernel
and initrd, the installation environment recognizes the cf
as ata3.
There it works.
When I boot through FILO, using the below line, no such luck.
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_FILE="hde1:/vmlinuz initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/sdb1"
The wiki "lets me" either use the CF slot as standard ide or through
pcmcia-utils.
This standard-ide approach, as said, did not work.
Is the wiki wrong?
Can there be something wrong with FILO that would cause this
ata3 not found?
PS:
After ata1/ata2 detection, I get dropped into an initramfs shell,
missing the root device node.
I couldn't find anything about pcmcia-utils in the initrd, which would
screw the bus up.
I then created a modified initrd with yenta_socket and friends, and
pata_pcmcia didn't not get automatically installed.
On manual installation of everything that was involved in the installation,
like pata_pcmcia and whatever, nothing happened. (!)
Anything?
Thanks!
