I'm getting a whole lot of nothing when trying to boot my new SanDisk 64MB CF using an ACS IDE-CF adapter.
I set the BIOS IDE detection to Auto/Auto, and I left the jumper on the IDE-CF adapter in default position indicating it would be Master. It's installed on the Primary IDE cable. The BIOS found the CF..... detected as SDCFB-64. That's all it said. I bootded to DOS-6.22, fdisk'd a primary partition of 12MB and made it active and rebooted and formatted c: /s. I can reboot to DOS-6.22 off the floppy and copy and move files back and forth from C to A and back. But it won't boot. The computer hangs right after post, as if the MBR said go to paritition 1 and load the boot code which never happens. No DOS6.22 message, nothing. I spent hours trying syslinux and whatnot, to no avail. 1If I can't get it to boot DOS, I don't think linux is going to do it. So what is it? Just the CF? I could buy a smaller one, maybe just 16 MB and see what happens. (6.22 fdisk sees it as 60MB not 64).
