'Allo, I've been having wonderful success making all sorts of filesystems on my Sandisk SDDR-31 USB compact flash read/writer with kernel 2.4.5. I can partition the device and everything. The trouble comes when I try to install a boot sector on it. I've tried LILO, as well as just catting a kernel to /dev/sda. My target platform boots linux from the CF when I format it under windows (using the sandisk provided drivers) and run loadlin from an autoexec.bat, but I can't seem to make it happy with any other boot sector. To test, [root@josephs1 /boot]# dd if=/dev/sda bs=1 count=512 | file - 512+0 records in 512+0 records out standard input: x86 boot sector I suppose it could be a problem with my target platform. Do the first 512 bytes of the device /dev/sda under the usb-storage module really translate to the first 512 bytes of the device? If not, is there a way around this? I'll be happy to provide any information necessary. Thanks much! j0seph sheedy _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-users
