Hi,
I've got a Sandisk 32Mb. I've been trying to stick on it an embedded flavour of linux
which I've got working from a HD partition. I've seen quite a few pointers in this
mailing list about doing that, however, they ALL seem to assume that the CF is
detected by the BIOS, whereas mine does not seem to, UNLESS is the master IDE, if it
is the slave, I just can't see it, neither the BIOS, nor Linux. Which is not the ideal
situation, because what I want to transfer is on my current master HD.
Even booting from rescue disks get me to the same point: can't see the CF as hdb
(slave), hence I can't fdisk the device or do anything on it.
I've tried various PC's with different BIOS, and varios kernels too, with the same
result.
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance,
Jaime
P.S. Additional note in case is important: I actually managed to install a small
version of Linux in the CF I am working on a few months back. I can't remember how I
did it, but it does work and it boots if it is the master device. What I am doing now
is trying to intall another smaller version of Linux on it, but I'm stuck with the
above problem.
