Did you copy mbr.bin to the CF disk? I suggest to use the lrp (esp initmod.lrp) from the syslinux images and not the one from isolinux image. I use pxe to boot Alix boxes and to download the necessary files to prepare the cf disks. Haven't seen a CF disk failing in the last years. kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
